Ocean11 0 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 What a horrible situation! The snow conditions are mental in Nagano today. I want to go to Nozawa tomorrow to make the most of it, but it's looking increasingly as though the roads will be impassable. Something needs to be done. Are there any volunteers willing to come and dig snow on the highway for me? Link to post Share on other sites

nekobi 0 Posted January 23, 2003 Share Posted January 23, 2003 be careful driving. i hate it in weather like this. a couple of weeks ago coming back from nozawa it was foggy and snowing hard. i literally could not see a thing for a few minutes. was too scared to stop for fear of being rear-ended and was too scared to drive bc i couldnt see the road or other cars. thank god the road is mostly straight and wide btwn iiyama and nakano.

Ocean11 0 Posted January 23, 2003 Author Share Posted January 23, 2003 Thanks Cupme, you're a trooper. Please get yourself to the expressway on the other side of the Okaya tunnel with your snow clearing equipment. Be sure to pile up the snow a good distance from the hard shoulder, as we'll be needing plenty of room to pile up the snow that is sure to fall later. Thank you. Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted January 23, 2003 Author Share Posted January 23, 2003 Useful site here for checking the state of the highways. I wonder if it's reliable? I heard about a 14 K jam at Okaya, but there's nothing here about it... http://www.jhnet.go.jp/info/hw_info/ Link to post Share on other sites

Ocean11 0 Posted January 25, 2003 Author Share Posted January 25, 2003 No problems on the highways in either direction. It's just in Suwa that they don't seem to be able to clear snow even though we get it every year. Link to post Share on other sites
