December in Japan

So exactly cold is Japan in December... well I guess it really depends where you are. Those folks who are in the mountains or up north in Hokkaido will find it pretty cold. In Tokyo though, well its pretty warm. Especially by Canadian standards. The last couple of days when riding to work, its been around 10 degrees celsius. Which I feel is pretty warm. Its no Florida or anything, but a hell of a lot warmer than Toronto!

Check out my neighbors rose growing next us. I took this last week, and there are three more in bloom right now.
