The Cold Wave

A once-in-a-few-years cold wave has hit Japan.

According to the weather forecast, there is a risk of heavy snow piling up in a short time and we need to be careful of traffic disruptions caused by heavy snow.

In my area, the snow doesn't usually pile up, but it might snow a little this time.
It’s 4 degrees in my area at 2 p.m., and it’ll be minus 2 at midnight.

I hope there are no injuries or damage.


数年に一度の寒波が日本を襲っています。
天気予報によると、短期間で大雪が積もる恐れがあり、大雪による交通障害に注意が必要だと書いてあった。
私の住んでいる地域では、普段は雪は積もりませんが、今回は少し雪が降るかもしれません。
私の住んでいる地域では午後 2 時の気温は 4 度ですが、真夜中にはマイナス 2 度になります。

怪我人や被害がないことを願っています。

The Cold Wave

A once-in-a-few-years cold wave has hit Japan.

According to the weather forecast, there is a risk of heavy snow piling up in a short time, and we need to be careful of traffic disruptions caused by (the) heavy snow.

While it is okay as it is, adding "the" make it refers back to the "heavy snow" mentioned earlier.

In my area, the snow doesn't usually pile up, but it might snow a little this time.

It’s 4 degrees in my area at 2 p.m., and it’ll be minus 2 at midnight.

You version is fine too, but I would suggest the following to emphasize the change in temperature "It’s 4 degrees in my area at 2 p.m., and it’ll drop to minus 2 by midnight."

I hope there are no injuries or damage.

Please be sure to wear enough! Maybe you can make a snowman tomorrow morning. ⛄

It sounds more natural if you say “下がる” instead of “〜になる”.
I’ll remember the “drop to”

Thank you for correcting and teaching me another phrase. 😊

明日は雪ダルマは作れそうもないです。
雪は積もらない程度に降るようですが、私達の地域の雪はすぐ止んでしまいます。

他の地域の方々が心配です。😢

間違えました。

The Cold Wave

A once-in-a-few-yearsrare and severe cold wave has hit Japan.

"once-in-a-few-years" also works but it feels a bit more stiff.

According to the weather forecast, there is a risk of heavy snow piling up in a short time andquickly so we need to be careful of traffic disruptions caused by heavy snow.

In my area, the snow doesn't usually pile up, but it might snow a little this time.

This is still correct, but many people would express this at:
In my area, the snow doesn't usually stick, but it might snow a little this time.

It’s 4 degrees in my area at 2 p.m., and it’ll be minus 2 at midnight.

I hope there are no injuries or damage.

Native speakers often use the word "stick" to describe snow staying on the ground.

Thank you for correcting and teaching me another phrase. 😊

私の地域は寒いだけで雪は降らないようです。雪が降る地域の方に被害や怪我がないようにと思います。
