Tokyo, Which Hasn’t Seen November Snow In Over 50 Years, Surprised To Wake Up In A Winter Wonderland
Tokyo hasn't seen snow in November for over 50 years, yet just yesterday residents of the Japanese capital woke up to an early winter wonderland.
In case you didn't know, Tokyo doesn't really see much snow at all. On average, once or twice a year. And the last time Tokyo saw snow in November was in 1962. Even though residents may not be used to the white snowflakes falling from the sky, it looks like many of them are pretty excited about it. Below, Bored Panda has put together a list of recent pics of snowy Tokyo. Take a look, feel free to add your own pics, and don't forget to vote for your favorites!

Regardless, Welcome to the next upcoming Grand Solar Minimum, also called "little ice age". Its almost upon us, and you all can forget about 'global warming'. http://www.lunarplanner.com/SolarCycles.html
Incidentally, there is more to this than just "over 50 years" as the title suggests. That's just snowfall. 'On the ground accumulation' goes all the way back to 1875, when records began being kept. "According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, it was the first time fallen snow on the ground was observed in the month of November since such records started to be taken in 1875." Now THAT is what is even more important. http://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2016/11/24/national/meteorological-agency-warns-overnight-snowfall-cause-transportation-delays/#.WDr3y4rQf4Y

I personally cannot wait to see some snow in my hometown this year! Winter's definitely my favourite season.
