This is a picture of snow-covered sakura blossoms – a rare combination – that was taken in the Aso area today. NHK reported the snow in the Aso area on its nationally broadcast evening news program today. You can see another video news segment (the one from which I took the image of the snow on the sakura blossoms) here:

The current temperature in Kumamoto City is 7 degrees celsius (45 F). I’ve had to look for sweaters and other warm clothing just to keep from shivering as I work at my computer!
Thankfully, warmer weather is predicted for tomorrow.
