Well, I can hardly believe it! The sun is shining this minute. I have never seen so much snowing and snow. We will be able to see for at least a few minutes now. Took the day off yesterday. Time for a rest and to encourage us it was -17C with strong winds and all of the gondolas closed because of the swinging. So we read, stayed warm and finally got out for a short wonderful walk taking photos of all of the snow and realizing that we are in Japan.
Andrew took a group to Sapporo and will be back tonight. He seems to change his plans on the fly and no one except him seems to know what will actually transpire. I am surprised at how cold it is here. I am now wearing my down jacket under my other jacket and that seemed to work the other day. Indoor heating seems a challenge. There is no insulation anywhere - not in the roofs, single pane windows, etc. There are room heaters and they must consume a mountain of energy. For all of the technology it is surprising that there is not better insulation.
