【さっぽろ積雪深95cm 雪かき禅修行の日々】



本日は「四国・屋島シリーズ」ブログ小休止であります。
年末年始はそこそこの降雪でおだやかに推移していた札幌地方ですが、
12日以降、ほぼ連日の降雪が引き続き、なかなか落ち着いてくれない。
降雪量自体はほぼ平年並みから少し多い程度なのですが、
12月での降雪は少なく、1月以降の降雪が極端にすごい。
結果として、ほぼ毎日苦役のように除雪作業に追いまくられています。
それでもここ数日はようやく早朝散歩に行けるほどには
除雪は軽いものになっていましたが、
本日もまたまたそこそこ本格的な降りようであります。
ご覧の図のように札幌は平年としては積雪深80cm程度が最大値なのですが、
今週前半にはなんと100cmを越えていた。現在発表が95cmですが、
昨夜から今朝に掛けてそこそこ降雪が加わってたぶん100cm超に復帰でしょう。

積雪深という概念はあまり一般性がないだろうと思いますが、
降雪量というのは降った雪の総量であって、体感する「積雪の深さ」とは
概念が違うのですね。暮らしに直接関わる雪の総量とは、
この積雪の深さ、総量ということになるのです。
雪かきとして対峙しなければならない雪のかたまり量、とでもいえる。
ことしの95cmとは平年値の65cmと比較すれば1.5倍程度になる。
まさに「雪かきの実感」そのものであります。
それも12日以降に集中してきているので、ここ2週間集中という状況。
ことしはさっぽろ雪まつりのリアル開催は見送られて、
市の「除雪」スケジュールは大きく変動し、やや前倒し気味。
わが家前は中学校通学路なのでそこそこ頻繁に除雪されますが、
クルマの通行も多く、また気温上昇があると雪が一部融けて
路面はハンドルも取られ気味のグチャグチャになりやすい。
そういう結果の雪質は重くて、それとたたかう除雪具に適当なものがない・・・。
同じ雪といってもまことに千変万化する状況に翻弄されています。

下の写真は近隣の薬品店で見かけた心憎いPOP。
筋肉痛の対症療法類がこれでもかと展示されている(笑)。
商魂たくましい、ではありますが、シンパシーも刺激される。
まことに琴線がはげしく共鳴させられる次第。
さて、本日も朝一番で往来の自由を確保すべく
北国のさだめに従順に、黙々と取り組みたいと思います。・・・禅修行か。
肉体鍛錬と忍耐力・克己心強化、まことに道元さんを思う日々。

[Sapporo snow depth 95 cm, days of coexistence with heavy snowfall]
Today is a short break for the “Shikoku / Yajima Series” blog.
During the year-end and New Year holidays, the Sapporo region had been mild due to moderate snowfall, but
Since the 12th, the snowfall has continued almost every day, and it has been difficult to calm down.
The amount of snowfall itself is about the same as normal to a little more, but
There is little snowfall in December, and the snowfall after January is extremely great.
As a result, I’ve been forced to remove snow almost every day.
Still, for the past few days, I can finally go for a walk early in the morning
Snow removal was light, but
It seems that we will get off in earnest again today.
As you can see, Sapporo has a maximum snow depth of about 80 cm for a normal year.
It was over 100 cm in the first half of this week. Currently the announcement is 95 cm,
From last night to this morning, it will probably return to over 100 cm with some snowfall.

I don’t think the concept of snow depth is very common,
The amount of snowfall is the total amount of snowfall, and what is the “depth of snowfall” that you can experience?
The concept is different. What is the total amount of snow that is directly related to daily life?
It is the depth and total amount of this snow cover.
It can be said that it is the amount of snow that must be confronted as snow shoveling.
This year’s 95 cm is about 1.5 times the normal value of 65 cm.
It is exactly the “real feeling of shoveling snow”.
It has been concentrated since the 12th, so it has been concentrated for the past two weeks.
The real holding of the Sapporo Snow Festival has been postponed,
The city’s “snow removal” schedule has fluctuated significantly, and it seems to be a little ahead of schedule.
Since my house is a junior high school school road, snow is removed quite often, but
There are many cars passing by, and when the temperature rises, some of the snow melts.
The steering wheel is also taken off the road surface, and it tends to be a little messy.
The snow quality as a result is heavy, and there is no suitable snow removal device to fight against it.
Even though it is the same snow, it is at the mercy of the ever-changing situation.

The picture below is a hateful POP I saw at a nearby drug store.
Symptomatic treatments for muscle pain are still on display (laughs).
It has a strong commercial spirit, but it also stimulates sympathy.
As soon as the koto line resonates violently.
By the way, to secure the freedom of traffic at the beginning of the morning today
I would like to work silently and obediently to the northern country. … Zen training?
Physical training, patience and self-reliance, every day I really think of Mr. Dogen.
