シャーロッツビルの雪を容器に入れて持ち帰りました。子どもが喜ぶかなと思って。12月末の15年に一度とも言われる記録的大雪が未だ解けず、町のあちこちに残っています。スキーにでも行かない限り、もう雪を見ることもないのだろうと思い、持ち帰ったけれど、飛行機の荷物置き場は思いのほか暖かかったらしく案外解けていた。それでもなんでも、とにかくシャーロッツビルの雪だぞぅ！I brought back a container of snow from Charlottesville with me. I thought kids would be excited. The remnant of the record snow they experienced at the end of December was still there in piles throughout the town. Thinking we would never see snow in this Southern California unless we go skiing, I packed a container with snow and put it in my check-in bag. It seems the cargo area of the airplane was much warmer than I expected, and it was more than half melted. But still it is THE snow from Charlottesville!
