It was a really cold morning, the lowest temperature was -4 degrees Celsius (24.8 Fahrenheit).
The water in the small empty plastic containers which my 5-year-old daughter put outside yesterday were frozen.
When I took my daughter to the nursery school, the road was almost frozen.
Since it was powder snow, the surface of the snow twinkled like stars.
I told my daughter,
"Look! The snow is twinkling in the sunshine!"
"Wow! How beautiful!"
We were fascinated by the natural beauty.
Some small children slipped and fell down.
Since I don't have winter tires, I had to drive my car very slowly and carefully when I went to my office.
When I drove on the downhill path near my house and applied the brake, my car slipped a little and the car wouldn't stop right away.
I was really scared.
Most of drivers drove carefully and slowly, the main road I drove was jammed with traffic.
But it was good for me because I couldn't drive my car fast.
I finally arrived at our office safely, but I was late for the beginning of my shift.
Days like today only happen once or twice a year around here.
I think we don't have to prepare snow tires becuase they are expensive, but I really tought I needed them today!

Hello Kumi-san,
ReplyDeleteInteresting article. I hate driving in snow or ice conditions. I am surprised that it is not mandatory to fit snow tires in Japan when there is snowfall on the roads.
Here is a list of some of the issues found while reading your article:

Hello Terry.

Now that you mention it, that's true.
We try to go to work even in a bad weather.
It is normal for us but actually most of us don't want to go to work on such a day.
Isn't it ironic?
Yes driving in snow is not fun and it makes sense to avoid driving in it if at all possible.
