Brrrr.. It's freezing here in Japan. It snowed a lot on 8th February. It was, in fact, the heaviest snowfall in decades in Tokyo and many other areas. On the next day, the snow was more than 30cm deep on the street when I got up. It's snowing again today and the ground had already been covered with white snow.. I wear 5 layers of clothes, but am still close to freezing, haha..

This is the view of the park through the window in my room.
My favourite trees covered with snow.

 

Take care and keep warm.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by and Happy Valentines Day everyone!

 Have fun and may love will be always on our side. xoxo
