muikabochi 208 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 I didn't want to post them all in the Crazy Snow contest thread, so here's a "trip report" from Yuzawa and my home town just to the north. It was actually difficult to get some of the photos as the roads are narrow and lots of entrances blocked... I think I annoyed one or two people trying to get some of these. But anyhow, here's how it's looking round here these days. We're not quite as mad as 5 seasons ago, but if it continues to pile up we might get close. (Adjusted contrast on some photos as you couldn't see anything without the change, just all white!) My neighbourhood Pavements become maze-like tunnels Nearly gone! Hat Looks like fun Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Ace. Now for the next TR you need to get on the skis and on the snow Link to post Share on other sites
the snowboarding vicar 1 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Amazing scenes. It must be one experience living in the middle of all that lot. Are there times when traffic comes to a standstill and things just get too much? Link to post Share on other sites

BagOfCrisps 24 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Wow. Those pavements now - the wall of snow over 2m? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sometimes I miss living in winter wonderlands... and then I think about all the snow shoveling... Glad I'm within driving distances of places like that but happy not to have to deal with it each morning! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Actually, I was just thinking about that myself Black Mountain. My house has some really strong sprinklers going on so the front has been clear all through this snow. I haven't really had to move much snow at all, other than from the top of my car a few times. The other day driving was pretty bad but that's only on the really really blizzardy days. So there Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 LOL! Guess that would help! It's a difficult choice... mountains or ocean. Being at the foot of Mt. Fuji tucked away in Suruga bay puts me in the center of many activities I enjoy, but I do feel like I'm sacrificing sometimes. I'm happy with what I have so not complaining! You going out this weekend Muika? Sadly, I'm stuck at home studying this weekend... Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Sounds good. Do you get some good shots of Fuji? If you do would be very keen to see. Not sure about this weekend. Got quite a few things to do and it looks like it will still be snowing. I might choose to get work done so I'm free to get out when my fave conditions. Haven't been as much as I'd like though so might. Hmmmm. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Check the photos I've uploaded. So good ones of Mt. Fuji there. From my house the view is slightly obscured by a 1200m mountain but there are tons of great places to get a shots. Especially on my way to and from work (I'm a bicycle commuter! 20kms a day!) I'm going to be heading out this weekend at some point so I'll be sure to get some good ones from the mountains across the day. You should definitely head out for a ski this weekend if you get the chance! I know I would be!! Anyway, loved the pictures as always! Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 16, 2010 Author Share Posted January 16, 2010 Ah yes I just looked at those fuji ones again, nice. If you ever get any more good ones please do share. I sure would love to be within shot of that mountain to get some fine pics. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 To be honest I have about 1000 of them (no exaggeration) from over the past 5 years or so (when I got my DSLR) I'll post some later tonight when I start procrastinating again! Link to post Share on other sites
