It snowed a little, and the forecast says snow storm will come tomorrow.

  It was cloudy in the morning. After posting the New Year cards at the Sakuragi post office, I walked south to Kawazoe. It was not snowing, but in the afternoon, it began to snow and there is about 5 cm snow on the ground. I sent an email to Tomoko in Sendai, and she answered in the evening saying she is in hospital again. She is suffering from serious lung disease, so when it is severely cold, she must be cared in the hospital. She says she is suffering from drug side effect.
