Today is shosetsu (小雪), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節気), the 24 solar terms. The last one was ritto (立冬) on November 7 and the next one is taisetsu (大雪) on December 7.
Shosetsu (小雪) literally means small snow. It is the time the snow starts falling a little bit. It was actually a cold day today.
小雪 is also read as ko yuki. There is an actress named Koyuki (小雪). She appeared in the Hollywood movie "The Last Samurai (2003)" by Edward Zwick. So you may remember her.
