Japanese Winter

It snowed one night last week. There was a bit of snow on the ground in places - I saw school kids picking up little bits to play with it.
I took this picture on the way from the train station to the office. You can see a little snow on the ground and some snow on the little mountains in the background. Fuji is there somewhere but got washed out in this poor exposure. Of course Fuji-san is snowy all the time, but this is the first time I've seen snow on the little mountains.
The locals tell me we'll likely have a little more snow like this before the end of February, but they don't seem very sure about it.
