We woke up to about 15cm of snow yesterday morning. No doubt the sight of the cherry blossoms covered in snow would have inspired Basho to a magnificent haiku.
Instead of embarrassing myself by attempting to write one myself, I googled "snow cherry haiku" and came up with this haiku found here:
white snow encircles
the bare twigs in the orchards:
cold cherry blossoms
