関東地方が大雪になりそうと昨日からニュースが報じている。そんな中、私は昨日から群馬に仕事に来ているのですが、朝9時の時点ではまだ雪の気配はない。
The news has been reporting since yesterday that the Kanto region is about to experience heavy snowfall. Such is the case, but I have been in Gunma for work since yesterday, and as of 9:00 a.m., there is still no sign of snow.
まもなく雪が降り始め、一気に積もりそうな感じになってきた。
Soon it will start snowing and it looks like it will pile up all at once.
天気予報によるとこれからますます激しく降りそうだし、高速道路の情報をみると雪による様々な規制や通行止めが出始めている。このまま夕方まで仕事すると私は家に帰れなくなる恐れがあり、それを心配した院長が私の夕方の仕事をキャンセルしてくれた。
According to the weather forecast, it looks like it is going to snow more and more heavily, and looking at the information on the highways, various restrictions and road closures due to snow are starting to appear. If I continued to work until the evening, I might not be able to go home, and the director, worried about that, cancelled my evening work.
そんな訳で昼過ぎには仕事を終え、これは上信越道を走っているところ。
So I finished work in the afternoon, and this is where I was driving on the Joshin-Etsu Highway.
標高の高い八王子まではけっこう降ったけれど、高尾山を過ぎたら雪は雨に変わり、これなら最後まで仕事しても良かったなあという感じ。
It snowed quite a bit up to Hachioji, which is at a high elevation, but onIce I passed Mt. Takao, the snow turned to rain, and I felt like I could have worked until the end.
家に着いてこなつのお出迎えを受ける、これが嬉しい瞬間！ こなつはちょうど夕方の散歩に出かけるところだ。
I was happy to be greeted by Konatsu when I arrived home. Konatsu was just about to go for an evening walk.
こっち方面は雨だからレインコート着て、行ってらっしゃ～い！
It’s raining in this direction, so put on your raincoat and go!
