二月十七日(nigatsu jyushichi nichi): February 17

It was very cold again. They say today is yuki no tokui bi (雪の特異日), the particular day of the high possibility of snowing in Tokyo. During the 7 years between 1981 and 1987 it snowed at the rate of 70% on this particular day. It maybe snow tonight too.
On February 17, 1978 in Hokkaido the coldest temperature was recorded. It was -41.2 degrees centigrade. I can't imagine how cold it was.
But I often think the human body is great because I have experienced from around -36 degrees centigrade in Alaska to around 49 degrees centigrade in Spain as long as I remember.
