According to the calendar, the day before yesterday - January 20th - was
the coldest day in the year. We call it （大寒 in Japanese）.

The day was really very cold, this year.

We are in the middle of winter, the coldest season in the year.
It has been terribly cold for a few days.
The temperature dropped to below the freezing point recently.

It has been very cold around this districts.
I have been freezing for a several days.
I felt this winter was especially cold.

The cold wave is hitting all over Japan.
Dark clouds were hanging over Mt.Sefuri yesterday.
Mt.Sefuri ( about 1050 meters above the sea ) has been covered with snow.

But It is fine today.
I can hang out clothes to dry in the sun.
I am a little bit happy.

It has been raining and a cloudy day since on the first day of January.
As I often do the washing, I have been at a loss because of raining.

It will have been cold till the end of Febrary.
Of course, I need heaters because I can't stand the cold.

I wish warm spring will visit us soon.
