連休直前からきのう土曜日まで一時中断をはさんで降り続いていた大雪。いま、2/25午前４時の時点でもまだ、断続的に続いているようです。気象台の「積雪深」発表はその日の午前９時時点での観測地点の積雪状況を伝えてくれる公式統計。
上の図は、現在時点の発表から19時間経過の最新統計データ。緑の線が「平年値」青の線が「昨年度」赤が「今年度」の推移を表しています。
で、数値グラフを確認すると2/11ころに100cmだったものが、2/22ころには58cm程度に一気に雪融けが進んでいました。平年の推移では２月から３月上旬くらいまでがグラフ上では上限に張り付いたレベルなのですが、ことしは２月のこの期間中で６掛けまでダウンしていた。記録的な高温傾向になって、ひょっとしてこのまま、春まで行ってことしは暖冬に終わるのかと思われた。
しかし冬将軍おそるべし。2/23から2/24の2日間で58cmから一気に109cmへと50cm以上の爆増。
わが家では降雪に対応して2/23の早朝大雪の除雪。それを済ませたあと青空も覗いていたので日本海側の増毛まで地酒「国稀」銘酒を購入がてら夫婦でドライブを楽しんでいた。同地は札幌から114km北方ですが、積雪は道中もさほどではなく札幌集中ドカ雪の様子も確認していた。
で、夕方帰還したのですが、札幌はまた雪が降り続き始めていた。オイオイですがさすがに疲れもあって「少しは積もるかも知れないけど、きょうは放置！」と宣言してさっさと爆睡。
で、きのう2/24朝に窓外を見て、一気にため息モードでありました（泣）。
まぁしかし淡々と家の周りを除雪して食品買い物を済ませてから帰宅後、借りている駐車場箇所の除雪を開始。しかし排雪移動させる堆積雪山が高くなりすぎていた。最大版ママさんダンプで押し上げようとして足下が滑って、久しぶりでまさかの転倒！
数十年ぶり。まぁ、やわらかい雪だったので打撲的な痛みはありませんでした。
で、帰ってきてふと、ケータイがポケットにないことに気付いた。
最悪に備えるという考え方から最後の電話発信地の食品スーパーではと推測。わが家周辺であればあとでゆっくり探せばいいけれど、スーパー店内では行方不明の危険度はより高い。で、スーパーに直行してその旨問い合わせたけれど、紛失物届はない。一応、届け出だけはして家に戻って探索作業。
車内の徹底探索・買い物荷物類探索など、カミさんケータイから「呼び出し」を行っても無反応。
やれやれ困った、というところでようやくカミさんから「さっきの転んだ場所」という場所提起。わたしもまったく盲点でした。そのわが家から50mの転倒箇所の雪を払いのけたら、あった（！）。
そこからカミさん提案で「お米の中に突っ込んでおく」という「除湿作戦」。ケータイiPhoneのカバーとの隙間に融けた水分が侵入しているのではということでしたが、さてどうなのか？
・・・というアクシデントも派生。
で、本日朝もやや5-6cm程度には積雪しております。やはり例年と同様３月上旬くらいまでは気の抜けない日々が続きそうであります。やれやれ、ふ〜。

Sapporo – Over 50 cm of snowfall confirmed in 2 days.
Snow depth went from 58cm to 109cm at once. The snowfall of the winter general’s whipping punishment and rampage. iPhone: The snowfall incident that caused the disappearance of a missing person is also derived! …

Heavy snow continued to fall with a pause from just before the consecutive holidays until yesterday, Saturday. As of 4:00 a.m. on February 25, it is still continuing intermittently. The “Snow Depth” of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) is an official statistic that tells us the snow accumulation at the observation point as of 9:00 a.m. on that day.
The figure above shows the latest statistics 19 hours after the current announcement. The green line represents the “normal year,” the blue line the “last year,” and the red line the “current year.
The green line shows the normal, and the blue line shows last year’s, and the red line shows the current year’s. The numerical graph shows that the snow melted from 100 cm around 2/11 to 58 cm around 2/22. In a normal year, the graph shows that the level sticks to the upper limit from February to early March, but this year, it was down to 6 times during this period in February. With the record high temperature trend, it was thought that perhaps this trend would continue until spring and this year would end in a mild winter.
However, General Winter was on our side, and in the two days between 2/23 and 2/24, the snowfall increased from 58 cm to 109 cm, an explosion of more than 50 cm.
In response to the snowfall, we had to remove the heavy snow early in the morning on 2/23. After finishing the snow removal, blue skies peeked through, so we drove to Mashige on the Sea of Japan coast to purchase a bottle of Kunimare, a famous local sake, and enjoyed the drive with our wife. The area is 114 km north of Sapporo, but there was not much snow on the road, and we had confirmed that there was a heavy snowfall in the Sapporo area.
When they returned home in the evening, it had started snowing again in Sapporo. I was tired and declared, “It might accumulate a little, but I’ll leave it for today! and went to sleep.
Then, yesterday morning on February 24, I looked out the window and sighed.
I plowed snow around the house and went shopping for groceries, then came home and started to remove snow from the rented parking lot. However, the pile of accumulated snow to be removed and moved was getting too high. I tried to push it up with the largest version of a mama’s dump truck, but it slipped under my feet and I unexpectedly fell down for the first time in a long time!
First time in decades. Well, it was soft snow, so there was no bruising pain.
And when I got back home, I suddenly realized that my cell phone was not in my pocket.
I guessed that it would be at the food supermarket where the last call was made, based on the idea of preparing for the worst. If it was around my house, I could look for it later, but in the supermarket, the risk of it going missing was much higher. So I went straight to the supermarket and inquired about it, but there was no lost property report. I returned home to search for the missing item.
I tried to call her from her cell phone to conduct a thorough search of the car and shopping baggage, but there was no response.
Finally, just as I was about to say, “Oh dear, I’m in trouble,” my wife finally suggested the place where I had just fallen down. I, too, was completely blindsided. I brushed off the snow from the spot where I had fallen 50 meters from our house, and there it was (!). There it was!
From there, my wife suggested a “dehumidification strategy” of “sticking it in the rice. We thought that melted moisture might have penetrated the gap between the cover of the iPhone and the cell phone, but what do you think?
But what do you think?
So, as of this morning, 5-6 cm of snow has accumulated. As usual, we will have to keep our heads down until early March. Oh well.
