Snow

We've been told that it normally does not snow in Oyama.  It gets cold enough but the position of the mountains tend to block any snowy weather from reaching Oyama.  Well, we got lucky!  It snowed!

We took a walk around town to explore.  There is one decent hill for sledding in Oyama and we spotted a few teenagers trying it out.  Unfortunately, this was more of the slushy snow, not the best conditions for sledding.

The cold weather had me in the mood for noodle soup.  For me, the closest Japanese equivalent is udon.  It hit the spot.

I'm not sure why, but watching it snow out our window made me feel like I was back home.
