William According to http://ejje.weblio.jp/, “snow flurries” in Japanese is しゅう雪 (syuu yuki). Having attended college in Maine, where snow accumulates knee- (or sometimes waist)-height, that it didn’t “stick” is something of a disappointment. It did stick in Aso and on Mt Kimpo, though. Kimpo is a convenient place to go if you’d like to see snow; just be prepared to U-turn your car on a very narrow road and drive wrong-way on a one-way, one-lane road back down if conditions do not allow you to traverse the hump.
