A woman, with a determined attitude, strides forward in a flowing white robe. Her hands are tightly gripping her hat, which is struggling to stay on as the wind howls around her. The backdrop is stunning, with rolling snow mountains and the dramatic setting sun and clear sky giving the scene an almost storybook feel. Every detail is vividly visible, from the waving flowers in the wind to the woman's hair whipping around her face. It's as if a female protagonist of a Victorian novel has come to life.

Koharuhi until yesterday seems to be a lie. Snow in the town, snow in the passes. But I definitely found the arrival of Spring on Poppo's road.

【Oyster in the snow】 Although the unusual warmth continued, It's snowing again in many places. Even in Nishiokoppe, snow is covering the ground again. To the white canvas that spreads all over I used colored water mixed with food coloring to draw pictures and letters! Three colors of red, yellow, and blue are available. Children mix these and make their own green, brown, and black colors. He scooped up the colored snow and showed it to me. By the way, the temperature is minus 7 degrees Celsius. Even if you have a fire, you can't cheat on the cold feet ... Thanks to the bonfire, I also enjoyed the roasted marshmallows. Okay.

In the Miya Forest that spreads to cover the ski resort The highlight of the event was the "treasure" walk on snowshoes. Because the treasure had a transmitter attached to it. Using a tool called a goat antenna, while searching for the position Climb up and down. When listening to the sound emitted by the receiver All participants focused and listened. Find a direction with less noise. The weather was sunny. Because the air was so clear It was a perfect day to walk in the forest of the Snow Palace. I walked a lot and found a treasure It's not about food or hot drinks. The children seemed a little disappointed, but they got venison stew as a souvenir. Personally, I met him at a summer camp It was also nice to be able to reunite with university students.

[Snow falling from the roof] This is the first winter spent in a snowy area. I was surprised by the thick snow on the roof. Watching the snow gradually shift and fall It was also refreshing to see. When it comes down, it is fluffy Soft snow as if dancing. But the snow on the roof that has piled up When it falls, it makes a heavy "thump" sound. If it hits a car directly, it will be sticky. As the temperature rises, there is a risk of falling snow. Please be careful.
