なごり雪/Lingering winter snow

4月8日と9日にかけて、この冬最後?の雪が積もりました。
例年と比べ雪が降る日と降雪量が少なく、暖かい日が多かった今シーズンでしたが、約10㎝のまとまった雪があり一気に季節が冬に戻ってきた感じがしました。
麓の町では桜が満開ですが、志賀高原の春はまだ少しおあずけのようです。

On April 8th and 9th, we had what might be the last snow of the winter season.
Compared to previous years, we had fewer days with snow and lower snowfall amounts this season, and we had many warm days. However, we received about 10cm of snow all at once, which made it feel like winter had returned in full force.
While the cherry blossoms in the town at the foot of the mountain are in full bloom, it seems like spring is still on hold a bit longer here at the Shiga Kogen.
