Crazy Weather

Well, last week I thought Spring had finally broken here in Japan. In Saijo anyway. The Sun was out, the temperature was pleasently warm, and my cold (which I am now convinced is some kind of pollen allergy) was in full swing.

However yesterday, the temperature dropped back down quicker than a fat lady on a trampoline. Minus 2 degrees, biting winds that made my eyes tear like a baby, and snow. Bloody snow in the middle of March! Madness.

One of my students, Satoshi said to me today, "Saijo has only 2 seasons. Summer and Winter. No Autumn or Spring".

Fantastic.
