Obviously those in the Tokyo area will have realised this, but for the benefit of those not in the vicinity, we have had a fair bit of snow in the past few days, which is not particularly common. With the typhoons and earthquakes, it has been a year of unusual weather for Japan.*

*a few inches of snow is nothing compared to what the people of Sri Lanka, Indonesia etc are going through. I know you have all seen the news, and there is nothing I can write here which can illuminate things any further, so just to say that we went to the shrine today, and some of our prayers were for the victims and the survivors.
