Monday, February 14--Valentine surprise

Today’s forecast was for a 40% chance of rain.  Temperatures were supposed to go no lower than 39ºF, although the wind chill would make it feel like 28ºF.  So what exactly is going on here?  It is 11:00 p.m., and it has been snowing to beat the band for the past four hours.  For the second time in four days, in an area of Japan that is not supposed to get any measurable snow, the roads are covered in white stuff--about 2 1/2 inches at the moment.  Does the town of Zushi even own a snow plow?  I am certainly not equipped for this mess—I have an ice scraper and a dust pan in my snow removal arsenal.  No shovel, no snow tires, no tire chains, no salt, no sand.  Hope the sun is gonna come out tomorrow!
