White day with a brownish shade

A cold front came over the weekend, and even though it is now March and snow's been melting on Daisen for a couple weeks now, my corner of Japan is once again covered in brown.

....what!? (insert photo)

Well it isn't yellow snow, but when I went down to my car this morning, I thought that the someone had decided to spread his bladder infection on my windshield. But the stuff was, and still is, falling everywhere. Happy brownish White day!

After some poking around, I found out that the brown snow is caused by desert sand blown from China.
