Cold Weather…

They told me that Hokkaido gets cold in the Fall and the Winter months. Perhaps I wasn’t listening or perhaps I didn’t believe that cold meant cold. This morning the temperature hovered at around 2.7-2.9 degrees Celsius (about 37 F). Now that was pretty cold to walk in, but the commute, on my bike, today was bone chilling! My feet were so cold that they didn’t thaw until 12:00pm today. I was wearing two fleece jackets, a beanie, fleece gloves, jeans, and a pair of Doc Martin boots. Somehow I make it to school, but man is it cold here!

And… it seems like it’s not going to get any much better in the days to come according to the weather report.

currently it’s: 34 degrees F
