Heavy snowfalls in central Hokkaido,today,too.

  It was fine here in Tomakomai, but in Iwamizawa and many other places in central Hokkaido, it has been continuing to snow heavily for couple of days and nights. My sister, Kazuko, lives in Iwamizawa, and she sent me an email yesterday saying she was quite tired of heavy snow. She works as an acountant for a little company there, and commutes to her office on foot, but she had to come home by taxi because of heavy snow. She says the snow on the ground is as deep as 1.5 m.
 I watched succer matches of Toyota Cup. In the 3rd -place match, Kashiwa Reysol was defeated by penalty shoot out. In the Cup final match, Balcerona from Spain won the victory over Santos from Brazil by the score of 4-0, and became the champion.
