きのうのブログで「スッキリ雪山」と歓喜の記事を書きましたが、その記述中に不気味に積雪が進行しておりました（泣）。で、ブログを書き上げて外を観察したら、けっこうな大雪。報道では21cmの24時間積雪量ということでしたが、上の札幌管区気象台データでは、3/10の午前９時段階での「積雪深」は札幌市西区で107cm。平年値では68cmなので、上回ること39cm。どうも対平年で1.5倍くらいの積雪状況のようです。実際にグラフを見ると赤線が一気に20cm程度アップしていることが確認できる。
あまりの「逆オオカミ少年」状態ブログになってしまったか（泣）。まぁ、市の公共除排雪によって堆雪場所での巨大な雪山が劇的に小さくなって、交通が非常に快適化したのは事実なのですが、まことに追い打ち。なかなか北海道の冬将軍さま、ことしは元気いっぱいのようであります。
まぁめげずに淡々と除雪作業に取り組んでおりました。が、まことに一進一退。
本日は週明けでまた、町内会単位の除排雪作業車が夜明け前から活発にわが家前を行き来しています。町内会の路地、６m道路群が集中除排雪対象になるのでしょう。住民としてはその作業の邪魔にならないように、ひたすら協力的に過ごしていたいと思っています。
しかしことしは、周期的に「大雪」が襲ってきている様子がグラフからは見て取れる。昨年の12/13前後にまとまった積雪があり、以降、12/下旬、年が改まって1/7前後、1/12-17、2/11、2/22-24の一気40cm以上というドカ雪などと「集中ドカ雪」に見舞われ続けてきたようです。
北海道人の雪かき実感からも、もうそろそろ３月だし、雪かき作業から解放されたいのが切なる願いですが、ここまでの冬将軍の元気さを体感させられるとムダな抵抗なのかも知れませんね。

The year began with a "concentrated heavy snowfall" of more than 40 cm around 1/7, 1/12-17, 2/11, and 2/22-24.
The new year began with "concentrated heavy snowfalls" of 40 cm or more on 1/7, 1/12-17, 2/11, and 2/22-24. We cannot let our guard down yet. The year has begun with a new year with snowfalls of 21 cm.
In my blog yesterday, I wrote a joyful article titled "Clear Snowy Mountains," but the snow was eerily accumulating while I was describing it (I cried). When I finished writing the blog and looked outside, I found that it was snowing quite heavily. According to the report, there was 21 cm of snow in 24 hours, but according to the Sapporo District Meteorological Observatory data above, the "snow depth" as of 9:00 a.m. on March 10 was 107 cm in Nishi Ward, Sapporo, exceeding the normal by 39 cm, since the normal value is 68 cm. In fact, the graph shows that the red line has increased by about 20 cm at a stretch.
Has this become too much of a "reverse wolf boy" state blog (cries)? Well, it is true that the city's public snow removal has dramatically reduced the size of the huge snow piles at the snow depositing sites, making traffic much more comfortable, but it has really caught up with us. It seems that Hokkaido's General Winter is in high spirits this year.
We were not discouraged and worked on the snow removal. However, it has been a constant struggle.
Today is the first day of the week, and the snow removal trucks of the neighborhood association have been actively going back and forth in front of our house since before dawn. I guess they are concentrating their snow removal work on the alleys and 6-meter roads in the neighborhood association. As a resident, I would like to stay cooperative so as not to get in the way of this work.
However, this year, the graph shows that "heavy snow" has been hitting us periodically. Since then, we have been hit by "concentrated heavy snowfalls" such as late December, around January 7 after the new year, January 12-17, February 11, and February 22-24, when more than 40 cm of snow fell at one time.
From the perspective of Hokkaido people, it is our earnest wish to be free from snow shoveling work as it is almost March, but it may be a futile resistance if we have to experience the vigor of General Winter until now.
