Not good pics most taken from the car while on the move. My folks back home find these pics interesting so I thought I'd post them.

Took the snow clearing guys all day to get the front of the building we are staying in clear today. We went out and they had to stop for us and we had to climb over the mound in front of the door - and when we called it a night they were still just finishing off.

 

And now it is snowing lol

The last 4 years have mostly had less snow than normal in most parts. Last season though was strange, many areas were less than normal but some areas like in the NW had all time record snowfalls. Areas around Niseko showed big variations last season over relatively small distances. Kutchan for instance was a little below average but Suttsu on the cost not far away had well above average.
