Even at the

beginning of April, such heavy snowfall can be seen in Hokkaido. Actually, I hadexperienced harsh blizzard during the

long holidays

at the beginning

of May decades ago.

The experimental agricultural

fields on the premises of Hokkaido University got covered with

white snow on that

day. 

In a several

weeks, this white fields would turn to be brown, yellow and green under the

bright sunshine of spring. The season of blossoms of cherry, small white magnolia would be coming.
