i haven't been so regular myself lately.. as for snow, it's been really bad in parts of northern japan (we're talking about 2 meters of snow) like akita and niigata. lot of older houses collapsing under the weight and killing people, mostly seniors. a lot of train service disruptions too. but it hasn't been too bad in the rest of japan (tokyo, osaka, kyushu region). it's been chilly with only a few patches of sun. it was really warm in shizuoka (smack dab between osaka and tokyo) the other day though. they've got a nice keirin track there but everything has been closed the last 2 days for a national holiday.
