In this snowy (maybe??) episode, Kota and Clay try to figure out what rare event might hit Florida tonight. Spoiler: it involves 雪 (snow), 積雪 (accumulated snow), and the very real possibility of Floridians building their first スノーマン! 🌨️ Spoiler alert--it didn't work out that way.

Along the way, we chat about: – 雪かき (snow shoveling) – 雪男 (Yeti vs Bigfoot vs Abominable Snowman... vs confusion) – Useful winter vocabulary that probably won’t help you in Florida – And how to say “stick” when snow piles up (hint: it’s not パイル)

📚 Learn all about Japanese words for snow and how English sometimes just uses… one word for it all. 😅 Also, find out why Clay’s memories of 福井 in winter are 50% magical and 50% sore back.
