Abnormal winter

This winter is so strange. No snow. Falling rain despite January. It is the first experience for me. I remember just one year ago that Tsuruoka has much snow and I did snow shoveling in the shop as a part-time job. This is last winter. Hard to ride a bicycle because it piled up much snow.

This year. You can see puddles instead of snow. Of course, you can ride a bicycle easier.

Under the piled snow environment is more stable than blowing ground by the wind. Piled snow is important for the creature. How affect the creature? I am anticipating our future research.
