From the Beeb:
Tokyo sees first November snow in 54 years
Tokyo is experiencing its first November snowfall in 54 years.
Residents of the Japanese capital were taken by surprise, as the temperatures around this time of the year usually range from 10C to 17C.
A bit more:
Tokyo last saw November snow in 1962, though in that year it did not accumulate on the ground.
The current snowfall marks the first time fallen snow has been seen on the ground in Tokyo in November since records started to be taken in 1875.
All indications point to a period of cooling. Solar output is declining, sunspot numbers are down. Warming would be a boon as more people die from cold than from heat.
