Parsed Participle

It snows in Tokyo for a total of probably 2, maybe 3 days. This is usually somewhere between Christmas and New Year's, but if I recall correctly, it also snows on an almost random day in February.

And, as is typical of Tokyo, the snow looks nice and pretty for probably less than an hour or two, before it gets all dirty and slushy.

I am particularly miffed that it stole my bicycling-Sunday; from my apartment building (outside where this photo was taken, on a rather bad mobile-phone camera), I cannot usually tell exactly what the weather is like unless I actually step out. So I had to leave my bike and tread along carefully in the already brownish-yellow, slippery snow-slush.
