Yesterday was a comfortably warm day, with the thermometer outside the center reading +3°C.
However, today is a different story, as blizzard conditions have continued since early morning and over 10 cm of snow has fallen.
This pattern, repeated, marks the way that spring ordinarily arrives. But, of course, this area is not like others. Spring is still a long way off.
However, yesterday the Salix gracilistyla began to bud and Haliaeetus albicilla appeared to be sunning itself on a treetop.
I felt as if spring had arrived, even if only for a day.
