Yesterday's big snow has packed me in my house all the day. Everything in Tokyo has been colored in pure white. It were like a north country side in the morning. Moreover, in the very much north side of the outer Tokyo area there was a tiny scale of explosion on a small volcano, Kusatsu-Shirane. The latest development by Japan's public broadcasting service reported that it should be a surprise in the area. After big snow, an explosion even it was not a serious one. What a noisy January we have this year.
