Natsukashii. Yukiguni o omoidashite.

This makes me recall the winters I spent in Sapporo. Tons of snow would pour down on the city, making everything brighter, quieter, and slower. It made the bitterly cold days so much more tolerable. (Of course, a bit of hot sake always helped, too.)

I haven't seen snow in years. Seeing your photos reminds me of just how pleasant a winter wonderland can be.
