A weather "Shigure"

 Do you know "Shigure"? It is a kind of rain in Japan.
 Shigure occur when the season changes in autumn to winter. Especially, the rain be so cold in winter. It is called "Huyushigure" or "Reiu" and both of them mean "cold rain".
 Sometimes Shigure changes to snow while it falling in cold day. The snow is called "Yukishigure". And it tells us the coming of winter.
 Also we can see them at the Japan sea coast. In this area, usually a huge amount of rain or snow fall in winter.
 Winter has not only snow but rain. A lot of way to express the weather give us a richness of  spillit. Japanese make the weather beautiful, I think.
(Tonight will be cold. I have to prepare another "huton"by and by...)
