初冬 (しょとう) = Early Winter

That's how it feels like in Tokyo lately and it's way too early.

Hahaha..I'm just like you,Noodle!
-hi fives-
I'm really new to Japanese..so kanji is proving rather difficult for me,even though I take Mandarin as a second language..some Chinese characters don't always mean the same thing as some Japanese kanji characters..

Like..青い(blue in Japanese),but in Mandarin actually means GREEN.
Lol.
