それでも毎日のように almost everyday recently

Yes!!
They say, we're having a warm winter this year.

We agree.

I'm not sure of the actual temperature differences compared to regular years,
but it certainly is warmer compared to last year.
(that is all the data we have, actually)

BUT
Takayama is Takayama, if you know what I mean.

We have been having cold mornings
and almost every morning these days,
rice paddies, vegetable gardens, roofs, and trees are covered with
thin layer of snow.

It's just that, it doesn't snow as much as it does typically.

Takayama is Takayama,
to us who come from "unsnowy" environment,
this winter has been cold enough and snowy enough!

Now, we've experienced winter with "heavy snow"
and "no snow" (at least, that is what people of Takayama say),
we are so looking forward to what it's going to be like the next winter!! : )

そう、
今年は暖冬、

それはそうだと思います。

実際、例年との気温差が何度かは分かりませんが
少なくとも去年よりは温かいです。
（我が家には去年のデータしかないので、、、笑）

でも、
高山は高山なんです。

毎朝、本当に寒い、
ここ最近は毎朝のように
目覚めると、外はうっすら雪景色なんです。
田んぼ、畑、屋根、そして木々も雪で覆われています。

ただ、雪の量がいつもと全然違うのでしょうね。

やはり高山は高山
私たちのように雪国素人に言わせれば
充分寒ければ、充分雪だって降っているわけです。

豪雪だった去年、
雪なしだった今年（少なくとも高山の方々はそう言います）
さぁ、次の冬はどうなるかなーー？
