Hope for an early Spring kicked in the nuts... cries like a little baby.

My hope for an early spring, anyways.

Woke up this AM with flurries of snow and accumulation, putting to shame the brief non-sticking nothing-snow we had here around December. Where's global warming when you need it?

Thankfully, the snow had actually all been burned off by the afternoon, even if it did remain bitterly cold. No more of this "last gasp of winter" shit, okay? Bring on the oppressive heat of a Japanese summer. Better than my feet never actually being warm. [Unless placed directly under the kotatsu - greatest of Japanese inventions, next to sake.]
