December 11th – December 15th is Winter – TAISETSU (Greater snow)-62nd KOU “Bears start hibernating in their dens”
After the first snow, it suddenly got cold. The minimum temperature was below freezing for several days, and the first ice of the year was also seen.
When the sky is clear like this morning, radiation cooling becomes stronger and the temperature near the ground drops.
According to the 62 KOU, this is the time when bears burrow into their dense and hibernate.
Some people may think it’s better to stay home on days like today, but the scenery and surrounding situations are about to change dramatically. It’s fun to experience them! It seems that bears are thinking the same thing. Even while hibernating, they sometimes come out of their dense on warm days.
NAGANO City is located in a basin at a high altitude and radiation cooling is likely to occur. So, fun things are coming much.
