March2025Weather diary page March 15, Kanagawa: March in Kanagawa sucks. I'm glad this will be our last March here. Just as cold or colder than February, gray... no redeeming features whatsoever except one -- the days are getting longer. It's now getting light out by 5:30, so it's light when I leave for work. Won't miss Kanagawa in March, and won't miss work. Good riddance. March 25, Kanagawa: OK, March is getting a bit better. Windy, severe but short thunderstorm last night, and a few degrees above normal. Mid 20's for a five day period ending tomorrow, then highs will be in the low to mid teens for a few days, a bit below normal. Average high now is 16-18. I've made the decision to never again live in a place where one must own socks. Socks suck. And all the paraphernalia of cold, even mild, weather sucks. This includes long pants, jackets, hats for any reason other than to block sun, gloves, and scarves. Cold, dry weather sucks, as does slush, freezing rain, sleet, and any weather event that includes single digits. The only exception to this is when fog freezes on everything around it. Now that is beautiful. But is it worth it to live in a cold, miserable place to see that once every ten years or so? Fuck no. Granted, this area of Japan, indeed any area of Japan outside of the high mountains and parts of Hokkaido, never get bitterly cold, but it gets cold enough to need socks, and socks suck. March 29, Kanagawa: Another final blast cold front rolling through. I don't think it made it over 10 today. |
