SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 15, 2012 SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 15, 2012 The first snow of the season has been spotted on the totally world famous, iconic and absolutely brilliant 'Emergency Telephone Box' in Yuzawa. It is still snowing wet snow this morning.... all a bit wet and miserable for photos, and not the best quality sorry, but they need to be posted as a record. Here we go!

muikabochi 208 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Yappari snow in Yuzawa. Belting down with rain here in Minamiuonuma. What makes the Emergency Phone Box even more famous this year is that it is not too far from Mt Granview! Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 And now its winter! Link to post Share on other sites
SnowJapan Admin SnowJapan 178 Posted November 15, 2012 Author SnowJapan Admin Share Posted November 15, 2012 And, folks, if you do go to Yuzawa and go past the box and enjoy this silly nonsense , please do take some shots and upload/post here on the site/Forums. Help most appreciated. It's more difficult now that we are not actually based in Yuzawa! Link to post Share on other sites
Sciclone 2 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Well, It's not too far from where I'm going to be staying (Takahan, about 50m south of G-Y station), so I'll take pics from the 4 mornings I'm there in mid-Feb. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 Woohoo! I actually let out a little scream earlier when I saw the pick. Then had to explain to people in the office the significance of this wondrous event. Think I am going to be sectioned tomorrow... Link to post Share on other sites

tokabochi 9 Posted November 15, 2012 Share Posted November 15, 2012 It'll be a fair while before the proper snow keeps there realistically. But of course great to see the first flakes there! Link to post Share on other sites

Thanks David. Map image saved to phone. Will be sure to get a snap if my travels take me there. Though truthfully I'd rather it be covered and unable to be found. Link to post Share on other sites
