Central Tokyo hasn’t had to deal with serious snowfall in four years. But on Monday, areas around the city received anywhere from three to eight inches of accumulation—with even more snowfall outside the city. The layer of snow caused air and ground transportation issues, but some citizens have taken the precipitation in stride and stepped outside to play. Twitter MomentsOpens in a new tab brought some creative snow sculptures to our attention, and now we’re itching for a snow day even though we’re in Los Angeles.
Hello Kitty is clearly made for the snow, and honestly, I can get behind snow creations that start with an amorphous base.
