13.37 (29 Nov)
It's snowing in northern Seoul. First snow of the season. You're supposed to be with the one you love now. I guess I kinda love my clients. 
Not only that, but there are now only 25 shopping days left until Christmas. 
(Oh, you know the Guru will be happy with whatever you get him. Just so long as it comes in a robin's-egg-blue Tiffany & Co. box.)

Last winter it snowed on Geoje island exactly two times
(1) an inch on New Year's Eve that was gone before I knew it, and
(2) half a foot on March 5th in one of the most freakish weather events this traditionally warm part of the country, off the southeast coast, has ever seen!
The winter before: nothing.
Though some students swear it was falling (sprinkling) once in January, but it landed as just wetness, and only barely looked like snow. |

It's still coming down, heavier than before. No doubt about it -- that's snow!
Earlier it was hard to tell whether it was actually snow or just very small pieces of atmospheric vapor frozen into ice crystals and falling in light white flakes from the sky. |

Wangja, I'm so far north I speak with a Pyongyang dialect. But time-wise, not so far that you couldn't have Albert fix me a black & tan and it wouldn't still be drinkable by the time I got there.  On two wheels, I can travel like the wind. Traffic lights are mere guidelines. Snarled intersections & tunnels, an exciting obstacle course.
(vvvvroooooooooommm....)

The sun peaks through. The snow is gone. |

Ah yes, very confusing ... Gunther is the tall thin German-Strine and his side-kick is Albert, shorter, stockier, hairier Canadian .... |

Yeah, it snowed here in Icheon too for about 2 seconds and only on one side of the building.
It made me happy to see it though. |
