Generally speaking, March is considered as spring in Japan.

But these days, Tokyo is very cold. And today, it was snowing!!

Snow in march is uncommon and so unprepared pedestrians slipped so often.

Fortunately, this coldness will be end on 12th of March, or so weather forecast said.

There is an east asian word, "sankan-sion", it means a cycle of three cold days followed by four warm ones, and this kind of cycle is a sign of coming spring.

Even though today is cold, surely spring is coming to Tokyo. :-)

 

一般的に日本では3月は春だとされています。

ですが最近の東京は寒いです。今日は雪が積もりました!

東京にも時に雪は降りますが、三月の雪は珍しく、足を滑らせる通行人も見かけました。

幸い天気予報によるとこの雪は12日頃には止みそうです。

三寒四温という諺があるように、今日は寒くとも春は確かに近づいています。
