Snow in Manchester

Half and inch of snow in Manchester closed the airport, delayed our flight, missed our connection to Tokyo, caused us to have a brief overnight stay in Paris with only a little sleep before catching the morning flight to Tokyo, arriving in Tokyo 6am Tuesday morning a little worse for wear. After a good nights sleep we are now raring to go and will report our first day in the mountains this evening.
