April sleet in Vienna みぞれの降る4月のウィーン

People walking somewhat bent over due to cold sleet.
冷たいみぞれに身を縮めて歩く人々

Even though cherries are blossoming here in Vienna it suddenly got colder. The sky is grey and yesterday afternoon there was sleet all of a sudden. Due to unexpected bad weather some people did not carry an umbrella and bent over a little walking in a hurry on the street. I presume plants were taken by surprise too. Hopefully nice weather will come back soon.

　桜の花も咲いたというのに、数日前からウィーンは急に寒くなりました。空はどんより曇っていて、昨日の午後は突然みぞれが降りました。急な悪天候に、傘を持つ人も少なく、みぞれの中、皆、身を縮めて早足で歩いていました。草木もさぞ驚いたことでしょう。早く良いお天気にもどりますように。

Mariahilferstrasse Vienna is a well-known shopping street.
Even though it was a Saturday afternoon
not many people were around because of cold sleet.
買い物で有名なウィーンのマリアヒルフ通り。
土曜の午後というのに、突然のみぞれに、
人通りが少ないです。
