All the rain lately brought me to post a little about the weather here in Misawa. The city is on about the same latitude as New York City and Rome. The four seasons are viewable and are very beautiful! Here is the breakdown by month:

Misawa is covered in a blanket of snow. The best part of the month is after a heavy snow storm the sun comes out and it is time to play!
Average Temp 33°F/1°F

February-
More snow! The city of Misawa gets over a hundred inches of snow per year. All the ski resorts are busy and open.
Average Temp 34°F/23°F

March-
Very little snow, but more rain. The brown ice is melting around the town and spring is near...
Average Temp 41°F/28°F

April-
The best month of the year! Cherry blossoms are blooming and the nights are chilly.

Fair weather until the end of the month when rain begins. More flowers blooming around town and everything is green.
