Peetan 10 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Guess in which skiijo 5 people have got into trouble, with one 70-year old dying? Seems pretty heavy, might pull out the old plank (ooer) for some snow Sunday- can't tomorrow as I'm in a kicking and punching competition Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Damn I wish I had no plans tomorrow, Nozawa will be great after being dumped on today. I'd even put up with busy to get a last powder day in. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Wrong place! Where r u based R45, Niseko? Did u guys get any of that snow today? It was falling pretty thick up at Teine.....tomorrow should be decent Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 50cms in Myoko today. Looks like the Kanetsu around Yuzawa has been closed for a while now today so they must be getting some serious snow too. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It is closed because of a crash, not because of snow. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Right, and the crash was caused by the snow (most likely). Was only going by the jartic website and they don't give reasons for the closure. I'm surprised that both inbound and outbound lanes are closed from a crash. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Check cars going in and out if you like http://www.snowjapan.com/japan-daily-snow-weather-reports/webcam-yuzawa-ic-niigata Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 I heard 60cm down that way. Link to post Share on other sites
Alexander L 80 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 It is closed because of a crash, not because of snow. But was crash due to snow? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Check cars going in and out if you like http://www.snowjapan...zawa-ic-niigata The webcam on the actual highway shows no cars at all. Outbound from Yuzawa to Shiozawaishiuchi and inbound Shiozawaishiuchi to Mizugami have been closed since earlier this afternoon. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well you must be right then, well done! No doubt all the people going into the IC entry road and coming out of the IC road are just doing it for the shits and giggles. I know I would if I were there. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Kanetsu is open north of Shiozawa Ishiuchi. Shiozawa Ishiuchi to Yuzawa, about 5km, is closed due to a crash. Yuzawa going south into Gunma is open. To Yuzawa from south is currently closed but I don't know why. It has been snowing, but not that crazy! Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Well you must be right then, well done! No doubt all the people going into the IC entry road and coming out of the IC road are just doing it for the shits and giggles. I know I would if I were there. Sorry for trying to pass along useful information about road closures. No doubt myself, the tv news reports and the jartic highway real-time information service are just making stuff up for shits and giggles. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Yuzawa IC is open, as I said above. The real-time service says this, the local news says this, the signs on Route 17 say this, my friend says this who used it just before, the webcam shows this. The roads in the region are not totally overwhelmed by snow, there is no mad panic. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 Right, but the highways that I said were closed are closed (and have been since earlier today). I was never trying to say otherwise and never mentioned anything about Yuzawa IC being closed. No panic here and nothing I said should have indicated that. I find it lame that someone tries to make me feel like a jerk for being helpful. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 In fact, no ICs around Yuzawa are closed. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 What exactly does 通行止 mean then? For the record, I don't recall ever saying anything about ICs being closed. The highways most certainly are though, which you even indicated in your post. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 ...and it is all open now in both directions. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 21, 2014 Share Posted March 21, 2014 What exactly does 通行止 mean then? For the record, I don't recall ever saying anything about ICs being closed. The highways most certainly are though, which you even indicated in your post. You very surely know what it means....it means closed/can't pass through. Which for the bits shown....is what I said. But as this is all very uninteresting, let me just tell everyone that while it has snowed a decent amount, we're all alive and coping famously, the roads are all now open, and we will definitely live to see another day. Hurray!! Link to post Share on other sites
