check out this forecast!
White Christmas? I think so! Yes, this means its cold here, but if it is going to be cold, I think it might as well snow! Check those temperatures though! (-7 C = about 19 F)
Yes, it's in Japanese. Here is some help if you need it:
天気：weather (lit. heaven's feelings) tee hee
今日：today
明日：tomorrow
週間：one week/weekly
時："o' clock"
Also, something I learned today as I checked the weather: みぞれ means "sleet" or "shaved ice topped with honey" Clearly it's a context thing :-P

random fun fact
Just to show how random things from American culture have made their way into Japan:
About once a month for lunch we have ポパイサラダ Romanized as "popai sarada." You can probably figure out that it is salad, that's just one of the borrowed English words, however, the popai... anyone guessed it yet? Hint: it is spinach salad. popai...spinach...popai...spinach... POPEYE! Yep, the spinach salad we have for school lunch is called Popeye salad! How excellent is that?! I do not know if all spinach salads in Japan are called Popeye salad, but it is printed on the school lunch menu, so that's definitely the case here. I never would have figured that out if my Kyoto-sensei had not explained it to me.
