Not even landing in the dead of winter, Tokyo has already been touched by a severe case of cold.  In just over a little month before, the place was literally steaming from the humidity of the summer.  Now, we face the typically dry climate of the impending winter season.

Winter in Tokyo is pretty brutal, at least for me.  Being a SoCal boy, I'm used to being able to wear shorts and tshirts with but a light sweater during the "winter" season in LA.  Here though, without the full regalia of pants, thick jacket and whatnot, it's a bitter fight to not scuttle quickly toward the covers or to switch on the heater.

Soon, I'll be trekking back to LA (hopefully unscathed) and just in time to avoid the brutality of the winter here.  But I'm amazed just how cold this place has become in such a short time span.  It's as if this place is either too cold or too humid.

I'm actually quite glad in terms of temperature for my decision.  I think this year will be especially cold out here.  I can't imagine what January and February will be like...
