Last weekend it snowed in Osaka for the first time in 11 years! And it actually snowed a lot for Osaka. Sure it is nothing compared to the snow we get in Hokkaido or Japan Alps area, but for the local residents, it was a beautiful and refreshing experience.
But by the next morning, all the snow had melted away, and the roads were icy and slippery. Of course, it is dangerous to drive or even walk in such slippery roads. I saw many people walking with special shoes or even ski boots. Neverthless, I enjoyed walking in the snow with my family.
When I went to India the week before, it was also surprisingly cold there. These days we hear a lot about global warming. What scientists have to say about this cold wave seen virtually all over the world ?
