Snow Day in Tokyo | Life in Japan Episode 142

Did you guys hear the potential weather forecast today? Snow. It's possible. That's a layup. They say there's a lot of snow possible. What's going on outside, Sarah? It's snowing. Let's see. Oh my goodness. That is like for real. For real. Sweet. How awesome is that? It's cold. It's cold too, huh? Sweet. Oh, this. I love to see. It's snowing. Will it accumulate at all? I don't know. But the fact that it's snowing just warms my heart. Oh, they get to play soccer in the snow. It's snowing. Oh my goodness. Yay. So we are gonna go to a konbini to pay some bills and get some more milk. Maybe we can have some hot chocolate later. Yay. Scooting in the snow. It's probably snowing. It's like balls of it. Can't tell how much it's snowing, but it's fun. I got one. For everyone who lives in Tokyo. This is so fun, because it hardly ever snows here. I'm sure if you live in Hokkaido, you see snow all the time. So it's not as special. But for us, it's fun. Dude, if this keeps up, let me tell you what, dude. If this keeps up, we're gonna have some snow on the ground. How exciting and awesome. This is crazy. I'm glad I don't have to walk far in this, though. Can you imagine the people who drove to work and have to drive back tonight? Oh my goodness. Oh, what'd you get? Snow? It's so snowy. Oh, it's beautiful. On days like these, I'm very thankful for our heaters that keep us warm. In America, the heating goes through the whole house and you put one temperature. The nice thing about having room by room is if you want it a little warmer where you are, you can have it. As I was working, the snow kept piling up outside. Soon I decided to go check and see how the rest of the family was, because I was sure they were up to something fun and I didn't want to miss out. Our kids are having so much fun in the snow. The kids are playing with their friends at the park. Oh my goodness. Hey Sarah, what do you have? Are you making a snowman? Where's the bobby? Let's see. Oh my goodness, so cool. I made it all by myself. You look, you're getting it everywhere you can, huh? Yeah, it's very muddy on the ground. Oh, fun. They're having a snowball fight. A snowball fight. Oh, you got me. It's actually small for her now. I love the snow. It has a certain smell to it and it's like a fresh, cool smell. It is really snowing now. Look at our road. Isn't it beautiful? You're making a scooter path. Oh, it's not me. You're taking the snowball for a ride. Look at those cars. Oh my goodness. Oh, look how beautiful this is. It's like a winter wonderland. Look it, there's oranges and snow. And look at all my little holly and snow. So beautiful. Oh no, the snowman. You gotta make it. Here, make it right here, Sarah, on our step. Put it right there on the ground. Put that one on top. Put one on the very... Look at all that snow on you. Are you so wet? Yeah, I got snow burnt. You got snow burnt? Yeah. What, you're just so cold? Yeah, that makes me burnt. Oh no, you're okay. I'm sure you're not burnt. There he is. Okay, let's go inside for now. He's cute. What is up here, guys? A box. From grandma. Oh my goodness. What's in the box? It's okay, get chisels. Goodness. I see Mario peeking through. Oh boy. Whoa, did we get some pajamas? Oh my goodness. Oh, Reese's peanut butter cups? My goodness. These are nice and warm for you. Size six, seven. Oh my goodness, you're getting so big. Oh, what do you have for Becca? A Christmas ornament. Chocolate, it's all sweats. A Christmas ornament. Well, didn't make it in time, did it? We have a gift at the hotel. Whoa. These are all for me. Whoa, candies? No, they're not all for you. They're definitely not all for you. This is mine. Whoa, some t-shirts? Is this for me? That looks like it's probably for me and Susan, huh? Sarah's trying her shirt on. Whoa, Sarah, that looks great, honey. Very cool. Snow rarely, if ever, collects on the roads and streets here. So here we go. I'm gonna go for a little stroll and just see what everything looks like. What's good to eat? Ramen. Ramen on a cold, snowy day. Cold, snowy day. Ramen, ramen. Did you know that you can get snow burn? You can get snow burn? These hams got so frozen, they almost burned. They were burning. My hands were burning. That means it's like so physical, there's almost gonna be ice, I think, right, Mommy? Yeah, kind of. Early the next morning, I headed to Pa's coffee shop and found that things were not as they were the day before. These roads here are pure ice. Pure ice is not a good thing to be walking on. Yes, the streets in Tokyo were covered in ice the next morning. We would have to rely on the sun to go to work, thawing everything in its path because Tokyo does not typically have to worry about snow and ice, so it doesn't have proper road treatment. Transportation that morning was a bit more stressful than normal. In Japan. It's a beautiful day in Japan. We're slipping a little here. Everything that's snow turned to ice. Oh my goodness. Look out. Watch out. Everybody cleaning off the table so we have breakfast. Oh yeah, oh yeah. Daddy has his computer here, uh-oh. Gave me coffee. Somebody was nice and gave you coffee. I'm gonna drink it, okay? It's okay. That's Mama-chan's. You don't even think about drinking it. That's right. Don't mess with Mama-chan. Don't mess with Mama's coffee. What do you think? What would it be like if we did a day in the life of Mama-chan? Oh, everyone would sleep well. They'd be tired by the end of my day. The awaited moment has arrived. I will put it on your plate. Put that on my plate. Onigai shimasu. Put that on my plate. Please. Put that on my plate. Please. Anna's so patient. Good job. Good job, patient Anna. It was on video, too. Oh yeah. Yay. It'll be forever remembered. What? If it's in the video. Don't put it in the video. Just kidding, just put it on your plate. Hey, hey, wait. Do we pray yet? Who's gonna pray? Three, two, one. Everybody fold your hands. Thank you, Lord. Help this day to be good. And help this great world to be perfect. Keep us safe. Amen. Everybody fold your hands. Again? Again.
