first snow

a very rare occurance in tokyo is snow.
this has to do with the fact that cold air coming from the asian continent is forced to rain down the snow north of the mountains that strech the main land of japan. but if the cold air comes from the east, snow sometimes reaches tokyo, once or twice a year. only to melt in a matter of hours.

special delivery: the first picture features the police box of ikebukuro in the background.
