January 25th-29th, 2024 is Winter-Daikan (Greater cold)-71th KOU “Ice thickens on stream.” It represents the time when the water in streams and waterfalls also freezes.
It was raining on the 70th, but the past few days on the 71st have been very cold. A heavy snow warning has been issued with the arrival of the coldest weather this winter. It’s literally DAIKAN. The lack of snow at ski resorts in NOZAWA ONSEN Village and SHIGA KOGEN in the HOKUSHIN area has been resolved. The sign says “Every slope is open”.
This area (southern part of NAGANO City) is sunny during the day. However, because the sky is sunny and clear, radiative cooling becomes stronger and temperature drops. This morning it was -5 degrees.
The breath I exhale is pure white, and the air, water, ground, and trees everything around me seem to be freezing.
