強い風

There wasn't much fun to be had with the storm we had yesterday. All day with the wind. The only good thing was that it meant the low pressure system was leaving. At times it was hard to tell if the snow was falling from the sky or simply being blown around. Then there were the huge gusts of wind that shook the house like a tremor and the accompanying snowdrifts today. The sun would dim to sunset levels in the middle of the day and everyone felt our of character with the weather changing so violently. It was an impressive sight to watch from behind the windows of a warm classroom. Today Tokachi is back to it's normal sunny self. It's still windy, as per usual in Shikaoi during the winter, but now I have something to compare it to. The sun is high in the sky and it's around zero now and would feel warm if the breeze ever stopped long enough. Should be nice all through the weekend.
