January 20th-24th, 2026 is Winter-Daikan (Greater cold)-70th KOU “Butterburs bud.”
When I woke up this morning, I didn’t feel warm in the room. The fan heater should turn on automatically 10 minutes before 6 a.m…. Yes, it’s working well.
I see! we’ve entered the coldest period of the year, the Greater Cold.
The temperature outside at 6 a.m. this morning was -4°C. There’s also a light snowfall. It’s light and fine snow, the kind that falls when it’s quite cold.
These past few days, the maximum temperature has been 11°C or 14°C on some days, but also 2°C or 4°C on others, and the minimum temperature has been -5.5°C or -6.4°C on some days. There has been a lot of fluctuation.
FUKI-NO-TOU (butterburs bud) have started to appear, the temperature fluctuated greatly, and today it even snowed, though. They show up at the same place and at the same time of year as always❤️
