grungy-gonads 54 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It really should be protected. It's an outrage that they do this mid-season. Link to post Share on other sites

snowdude 44 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 No surely not! What have they done! Damm you workers for doing your job! Can we not enter this into a national heritage box site or something so that they are not allowed to clear the snow in winter! Outrage! Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 It was the 2nd week of Feb when they first cleared it last season, and it never recovered. Remains to be seeing if it can this time, but I suspect we might have seen the peak of the phone box. Not to say we won't get tons more snow, but this milder week has given them too much time to clear up and spoil it! Hope I'm wrong of course. Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 The phone box, 1pm, 19th January 2012 Somebody needs to get a blue sheet to cover that crime scene. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 Just saw that all of Yamanashi and surrounding areas are under a heavy snow warning for tonight! Lovely, if we get enough I'll take a pic of a box here instead of the Yuzawa one just to tide everyone over until you guys get your next big dump next week! Actually that is if any public telephone boxes actually exist now, can't really say I have seen any? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 19, 2012 Share Posted January 19, 2012 There's actually a few in these parts. I can quickly think of 5 in Yuzawa off-hand.... Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 I suspect it has taken a bit more of a hit since then as well. Come on lets get back into winter mode please! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted January 21, 2012 Share Posted January 21, 2012 Full on winter mode should be here with us Monday. After the heavy snow we had yesterday it has rained here today, but been dumping it nicely higher up! Off skiing tomorrow in fresh snow! Link to post Share on other sites
