blizzard!

December 19th, 2005 by Jeff Leave a reply »

Had a nice little rumble at 3 something in the morning on Saturday. It woke me up but I just turned over and went back to sleep.

Saturday evening I went to a little Christmas dance party at the kaikan in Sendai, then out drinking and clubbing with a few old friends (and a few new ones). Chiaki let me crash at her place. Yay for friends in Sendai.

It snowed up a storm last night. This morning I could barely open my front door (word to the wise: if you’re building apartments in places where snow blows in sideways in front of doors, MAKE YOUR GODDAMN DOORS OPEN INWARDS SO PEOPLE CAN GET OUT).

I trudged to school in almost a meter of snow, with snow still falling. One of the shop awnings had collapsed under the weight of all the snow. Everything was covered in a white sheet. A white sheet of meter-thick white foam.
