Last winter was so mild that a lot of people were predicting a long and cold winter this year. It seems their predictions have come to fruition. I spent my new year's holidays snow-shoveling for about two or three hours everyday and before you say, "Why don't you get a snowblower?", one - the space we need to shovel is a too narrow and the only place to blow the snow would be into our neighbor's yard! So, my American friends, please refrain from suggesting that is totally impractical and expensive as well.
享年の冬雪の量は少なくて、自分も雪かきは一回しかやってなかった。いろんな人がそういう冬だったこそ、今年は結構降るんじゃないかと予想してた。その予想が大当たりになってる。自分の正月休みはほぼ雪かきで追われてた！アメリカの友達が毎年、”常設機買えば？” なんかその提案にいつもイラッとする。大一、常設機は安くない。そして雪が飛ばすところはとなりの家になるから隣人トラブルもなるんじゃないか！
This is the front door of our house.
左にあるドアは家の入口。
Before shoveling the snow on the ground, you need to brush the snow off the car.
雪かきを始まる前に車に積もった雪を先に落とさないっと。
The road in front of our house.
うちの前を通る道路。
It looks like a bulldozer has already piled up some snow here.
ブルがもう来てこの雪山が出来たみたい。
The second floor window is where my den is. It is from that window that I look outside while working out on the treadmill.
二階の窓が僕の書斎があるところだ。いつもウォーキングマシン使う時はその窓から外を眺めてる。
This is me a couple of hours after shoveling snow.
2時間後雪かき終了。
Standing on the little slope I made where I can dump the snow over a cliff.
雪捨てる場所の坂の上で立つ俺。
If you look closely, you can see the snow is at the same height as the guardrail.
写真を良く見ると雪はガードレールと同じ高さ。
Alright, I'm done for the day!
はい、今日は終わり！
Me and my wife / 僕と妻
In the middle is the slope I made where we go to dump the snow.
写真の真ん中は俺が作った坂。そこを登って雪を捨てる。

This was the view from my den on the Firday morning, the eighth.
金曜1月8日、自分の書斎からの眺め。
Thursday morning before going to work. I left the mountain for my wife to get rid of as she had the day off.
木曜日の朝。自分が仕事行く前。妻が休みだったので、その山を片付けてくれた。
I had just finished this area when more snow fell off the roof.
ここが終わってたのに、屋根からまた雪が落ちた。
I see more snow-shoveling in my future!!
これからもまた雪かきに負われそう！
This was taken on Friday afternoon arou d 3:00pm.
この写真は金曜日午後3時くらいに撮ったもの。
Those are my footprints in the snow.
雪にあるのは自分の足跡だ。
This is near Aomori Station.
これは青森駅近く。
I work in the building on the far right. The fourth floor with the blue sign.
