SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 9, 2011 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 9, 2011 As the topic says, exciting stuff. As many of you will know, due to rumblings on March 12th our previous webcam got broken and subsequently we decided to move office to rural Minamiuonuma just to the north of Yuzawa. A great move that turned out to be --- the only downer is not being able to have that great position for the webcam. But never mind, we have to make do with what we have...and what we do have is this: Exact location unknown, but it's basically in the Shiozawa area, looking north. About 15km north of central Yuzawa. This area usually gets similar amounts of snow as Yuzawa, perhaps sometimes a bit less. Next week we will add "previous images" to it's position in the webcam center (as well as checking and cleaning up that section of the site as well). Also hope to get some fun "time-lapse" videos going as well. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 It's a decent view. We can see a mountain and nearby some things to judge snow depth too. And - in summer we will be able to watch the rice grow! Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 Are those the lights of the downtown Minamiuonuma metropolis in the night view? Link to post Share on other sites
kokodoko 67 Posted December 9, 2011 Share Posted December 9, 2011 i think you have captured an astral projection.. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 9, 2011 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 9, 2011 The lights in the distance are indeed of the metropolis that is Minamiuonuma. The 'inbetween Shiozawa and Muikamachi' bit... they kind of merge into each other. Blue lights are actually just some silly lights on the camera. Need to find a way to turn those off. But not now, need a rest. Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted December 10, 2011 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted December 10, 2011 Still in the process of getting to grips with the new webcam.

I thought bottomless was a place near Nagano, no wonder I haven't been able to find it ........ Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted December 11, 2011 Share Posted December 11, 2011 Clouds are really whizzing over this morning. Would be interesting to see one from today. Or even more if we had lots of snow! Dried up there too I see. Link to post Share on other sites
