Snow is Falling

The second snowstorm of the season has hit Otaru! As promised, the Hokkaido snow is "dry." On Saturday evening, I witnessed a lightning storm whilst the snow was falling. I've seen plenty of snow and many a lightning bolt in my day, but never simultaneously!

In celebration of the snow, my neighbor Andi and I grabbed our winter gear and headed outside the dormitory for some sledding and to resurrect Frosty. It didn't take long before others find their way outside. Maybe it was the snowballs we threw at their windows?
