3月に入り、一日の最高気温が0度を少しだけ上回る日が増えてきたことに喜んだのもつかの間、今朝目覚めると窓の外は猛吹雪で、降ったばかりの雪がまた街を覆い尽くそうとしていた。それでも白い雪は、厳冬期に比べて水分を多く含み、少しだけ氷雨に近くなっているようだ。冬の終わりはまだ先だが、春の気配は近付いている。

As March began, I rejoiced in the increasing number of days when the daytime temperature slightly surpassed 0 degrees. However, my joy was short-lived, as this morning I woke up to a fierce blizzard outside my window. Freshly fallen snow was once again blanketing the city. Nevertheless, the white snow now seems to contain more moisture compared to the depths of winter, resembling sleet ever so slightly. While it appears that the end of winter is still a way off, the signs of spring are closer than we think.
