一月十二日(ichigatsu jyuni nichi): January 12

It was very cold today. Around 00:25 PM it snowed in Tokyo. This was the first snow (初雪:hatsu yuki) for this winter. It was 10 days later than average and 3 days later than last year. The temperature was about 3 degrees centigrade at that time, and the highest of today in Tokyo went up to only 6 degrees centigrade. Tomorrow it will be colder too.

Today the new record was made in the sumo world. Ozeki Kaio(大関魁皇), 37 years old set a record of 808th win. It has been 22 years since he entered into the sumo world in 1988 and this was the 99th grand sumo tournaments for him, which is also the best record in history. Yesterday his record became a tie with the ex-58th Yokozuna Chiyo no fuji's (元横綱千代の富士) 807th win. Congratulations!
