I wear many layers of clothes-a tee-shirt, a long-sleeve shirt, a sweater, two pairs of socks, long underwear, a hat, a big down winter jacket, a huge wool scarf (this was a Christmas gift from the Mrs. She made it by hand! It took a lot of time and effort I think...so I will cherish this scarf forever!!)...but even wearing all of these clothes, it is all still not enough. I am still always cold.
The two warmest places in my house are: under the kotatsu, and the toilet seat!!!
Yesterday I thought, "I really can't wait for spring to come!!"
I saw the first snow of this winter last December in Honmachi. It was only a really small flurry.
Have you seen any snow this year yet?
Many people often ask me,
"What's the weather like in Philadelphia? Is there snow?"
If you want to know if there is snow or not, it is obvious when you look at the picture below.
My father took this photo of the front yard of his house after a blizzard.
Can you see the mail box all covered in the snow? How about the light pole?
Regarding the weather and temperature in Philadelphia, there is more snow and the temperature is colder in Philadelphia in the winter (but I think it actually feels colder in Osaka!!), basically Philadelphia and Osaka are similar. Please read below for some other differences and similarities between the two cities.
The similarities:
They both have four seasons; spring, summer, winter, and fall.
The four seasons are the same time during the year in both cities.
The summer is hot and humid in both cities, but I think it is more humid in Osaka than in Philly.
There is beautiful foliage(fall leaves) in both cities.
The differences:
Osaka has a rainy season, but there is no rainy season in Philly.
Osaka has typhoons sometimes, but there are no typhoons in Philly.
There are blizzards in Philly, but no blizzards in Osaka.
