They say Feb. 17 is Tenshi no sasayaki kinen bi (天使の囁き記念日), Anniversary of the Whisper of an Angel since 1994. Tenshi no sasayaki, the whisper of an angel is said to mean diamond dust.
On Feb. 17, 1978, the coldest temperature was recorded as - 41.2 centigrade in Horokanai(幌加内), Hokkaido, however it did not become the official record. Therefore young people of Horokanai organized a group of Tenshi no sasayaki wo kiku kai (天使の囁きを聴く会), Association of listening to the whisper of an angel and has winter events to commemorate the coldest day.
Diamond dust appears in a fine morning of less than - 10 centigrade. I have seen them once when I was in Pullman, Washington in January 1996. They were so beautiful.
