3 | Japan is experiencing the first early-December cold wave (寒波, or kanpa) in eight years. | Miaina ny onjanà hatsiaka voalohany amin'ny fiandohan'ny Desambra i Japana (寒波, na kanpa) tato anatin'ny valo taona. |
4 | According to meteorologists, from December 1 to December 12 Japan can expect cold temperatures and winter conditions normally seen only in February. | Araka ny lazain'ny mpahay toetrandro, andrasana ao Japana manomboka ny 1 Desambra hatramin'ny 12 Desambra ny maripàna mamirifiry ary raha ny ririnina mahazatra dia toa tsy ho hita raha tsy any amin'ny Febroary any ho any. |
5 | The cold winter weather makes for excellent television of wind-driven storm surges, hazardous driving conditions, and snowy landscapes as “intense cold invades the Japanese archipelago, causing damage throughout the country.” | Fepetra feno ho an'ny televisiona ny toetrandro mangatsiakan'ny ririnina atosiky ny tafio-drivotra, ny faharatsian'ny fepetra ahafahana mamily fiara, ary ny tontolo manodidina rakotry ny ranomandry satria “rivotra faran'izay mamirifiry, miteraka fahavoazana manerana ny firenena no mandrakotra ireo vondro-nosy Japoney.” |
6 | The typical mid-winter pattern in Japan sees intensely cold air masses travelling across the Sea of Japan from Siberia towards Japan. | Ny tontolo miavaka fahita rehefa ririnina ao Japana dia ny andian-drivotra mangatsiaka be avy any Siberia mamakivaky ny ranomasin'i Japana mankao Japana. |
7 | Much like the “lake effect” experienced in the U.S. Northeast, the cold, dry air from the continent picks up moisture as it travels across the relatively warm waters of the sea of Japan. | Toy ny “fiantraikan'ilay farihy” iainana any Avaratra Atsinanan'i Etazonia, ny hatsiaka sy rivotra maina avy any amin'ny kaontinanta dia mitondra hamandoana rehefa mitety ireo rano eny amin'ny ranomasin'i Japana. |
8 | The result is heavy dumps of snow along the Japan Sea coast facing the continental mainland. | Ranomandry matevina no vokany manerana ny morontsiraky ny ranomasin'i Japana mitodika any amin'ny tanibe. |
9 | The mountains that line Japan from north to south act as a wall, blocking the snowy weather patterns. | Mijoro ho toy ny rindrina iray ireo tendrombohitra mitandahatra ao Japana, mibahana ny toetrandro mitondra ranomandry. |
10 | Tokyo and the other cities of the Pacific Coast typically enjoy cool, dry, sunny winters, while the Japan Sea coastline is snowy and dark until late March. | Miaina toetrandro ririnina mangatsiaka, maina sy misy masoandro i Tokyo sy ireo tanàna hafa ao amin'ny faritr'i Pasifika, raha ny morontsiraky ny ranomasin'i Japana kosa miaina ao anaty ranomandry sy haizina hatramin'ny faran'ny volana Martsa. |
11 | With this latest cold snap, the northenmost island of Hokkaido is already socked in, as this Instagram photo of Rumoi demonstrates: | Miaraka amin'ity onjan'hatsiaka farany ity, ny nosy any amin'ny farany avaratra ao Hokkaido dia efa tsy azo aleha, araka ny asehon'ity sary Instagram avy ao Rumoi ity: |

14 | To the south, Aomori was also blanketed in its first snowfall of the season, receiving seven centimeters in the city center: | Any Atsimo, rakotry ny ranomandry voalohany nilatsaka tao aminy tamin'ity vanin-taona ity ihany koa i Aomori, nahazo fito santimetatra ny tao afovoan-tanàna : |
15 | What an amazingly lovely scene! | Tontolo mahagaga sy mahate-ho tia re izao! |
16 | Snow is the best! | Fatratra ny ranomandry! |
17 | Amanohashidate, the famous “floating bridge of heaven” located near the city of Miyazu north of Kyoto, received a rare coating of snow: | Nahazo rakotra ranomandry tsy fahitany firy i Amanohashidate, ilay “tetezana mihantona malaza eny an-danitra” ao akaikin'ny tanànan'i Miyazu avaratr'i Kyoto : |

19 | Back in Hokkaido, a bus carrying a group of tourists from Singapore made the national news after it slipped off an icy highway near the town of Shimukappu: | Ndao hiverina ao Hokkaido, fiara iray fitateram-bahoaka nitondra andianà mpizahatany avy any Singapour no lohatenim-baovao tao amin'ny firenena, taorian'ny nikorisàny noho ny làlana nalàman'ny ranomandry tany akaikin'ny tanànan'i Shimukappu: |
20 | A tour bus slides off the edge of the road, leaving 18 lightly injured. | Nikisaka tany amin'ny sisin'ny arabe ilay fiara fitaterana, 18 no naratra. |
21 | Slippery road conditions are thought to have caused the accident. | Ny làlana malama no heverina ho nahatonga ny loza. |
22 | On Route 402, southwest of Niigata City, howling winds travelling at 33.8 meters/second are creating stormscapes along the Japan Sea coastline: | Tao amin'ny Route 402, atsimo andrefan'i Niigata City, niteraka onja nanerana ny morontsiraky ny ranomasin'i Japana ny rivotra nitsoka mafy nahatratra ny 33.8 metatra/segondra: |

25 | As these snapshots from Yokote in the mountains of Honshu's snowy northeast shows, Japan's long winter has only just begun: | Araka ny asehon'ireto sary teo no ho eo avy amin'i Yokote ireto, tany an-tendrombohitra rakotry ny ranomandry ao Honshu avaratra atsinanana, dia vao manomboka ny ririnina lavabe ao Japana: |
26 | The nightmare is far from over. | Mbola ho ela vao ho tapitra ny nofy ratsy. |
