It Snowed In Utsunomiya City, Japan

The heavy snowfall came during a national election and university entrance exam season. 

It snowed 12 cm in Utsunomiya, 26 cm at Lake Chuzenji in Oku-Nikko and 9 cm in Nasu Highlands.

Field Mustard at Home

I brought back wild field mustard flowers from open ground near public tennis courts where I often play tennis.

My wife and I decorated our living room with them.

The very next day after we did so, we had an unseasonable blizzard.

I Go to Utsunomiya Castle Park

I took a walk to Utsunomiya castle park today. Since it was sow yesterday, the park had lots of family visitors who wanted to enjoy its covered snow.

The moat of the castle was covered with thick ice plate because of yesterday's freezing cold temperature.

On the other hand, plum trees near the park had full of beautiful flowers.

I have just recovered from influenza, having been sick for nearly one week.

That means I stayed home and did not go to my office for work. Yes, that's right.

All things what I did for the week were just visiting a clinic and taking some pictures of snow and fog covered town scenery.

It Snows on the Weekend

We had a heavy snowfall in Utsunomiya yesterday.

The Japan Meteorological Agency issued heavy snowfall warnings for Kanto area including Tochigi, Tokyo and other prefectures on Saturday.

It said that it was the first time that heavy snow warnings were issued for Tokyo in 13 years.

Almost all flights to and from Haneda Airport were canceled and trains were partially disrupted on Saturday.





Contrary to the bad weather yesterday, it's a warm sunny day today.

I took a walk to Utsunomiya Castle Park to take some pictures.

 A heavy snowfall blanketed Utsunomiya city and its vicinity last weekend.

Remaining snow prevented me from weekday tennis practices.

Luckily, a sunny weekend came back today and yesterday.

I enjoyed jumping, running and hitting tennis balls today.

It refreshed me and gave energy to go to office tomorrow.
