Snowy Tokyo Tuesday Evening
Hit the commute home on the Odayku line an hour and a half ago to find it not only snowing, but it was piling up more and more on the platforms of the stations we passed. By the time I got off at my station and started walking back to my apartment, the town’s streets had a thick enough layer of slushy snow to make walking in my tractionless suit shoes a dangerous undertaking. Made it home and snapped a pic just outside my place.

An American living in Tokyo. Can be seen bounding through Shinjuku Station most mornings, teeth gnashing, eyes bulging, a cup of cheap coffee clenched in one fist and a satchel in the other. God help those who don't see him coming.

Nice photo. Nearly fell and cracked my head open last night with similarly traction-less shoes.

Thanks.
Yeah, probably the most dangerous areas of wet roads are the parts with white writing. 止まれ should be changed to 転べ.

@Chris B:
Weird winter this year. Haven’t seen this many snowy days in Tokyo in all the time I’ve been here.
@Blue Shoe:
Supposed to warm up nicely this weekend. Premature cherry blossom ejaculation in the works?…
