Coming of Age on a snowy day

Today is the Coming of Age day in Japan. See Wikipedia here. Today, 20-year olds dress up in kimonos and suits to mark the passage into adulthood. However, today is also the first day of snow in 2013, and it is rather heavy snow. I have been to Shibuya for filming the Shibuya scramble crossing (which I also did another day on normal weather, see this YouTube video and here is today's one), and on my way back in the early afternoon. Normally, the newly turned adults stay out until late but today is a day for early return given the snow. These three girls are waiting for the train in Nerima station. One has the umbrella open to protect herself from the snow blowing with the strong wind.
