京都の真冬の寒さWinter 2012 has been cold, very cold.
However, except for flurries, it has yet to snow in metropolitan Kyoto (the photo was taken on New Year's Day 2011).
Just beyond the mountains that ring the city of Kyoto is another world however.
In Maizuru, Kyoto Prefecture, on Friday, 84 cm (33 inches) had accumulated.
Until Sunday, daily temperatures were rising only to about 3-5 degrees C (35 F) in toasty urban Kyoto.
There is now a slight let up in the weather, but another cold front from Siberia is on its way.
At this time of year, every year, we regret not having purchased the lobster claw type bicycle gloves. At least, though, the streets are clean and dry - even after a bit of rain over night - and we commute as always on the bike to the train station.
