marnix 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 snow in tokyo is always fun. 1 inch of snow and everyone starts to put in snowchains in the middle of the road making sure no one can pass. Link to post Share on other sites

They can hit you from 300 meters out right in the head Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 yeah but in the bald tire capitol of japan that is a given Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 And the kids all run to the nearest hill and get the slides out Funny watching them slide down a hill on nothing as the snow melts almost instantly Link to post Share on other sites
Fattwins 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 my dad used to have an old ice toboggan. once every 3 or 4 years when the freezing rain covered everything that was a freaking rocket. my dad set a good record of 500 meters of distance off of a 15meter vertical mountain.

mattlucas 0 Posted September 22, 2005 Share Posted September 22, 2005 Shit that at's a long way to glide Out west in the Van city area we would get just a few cm's of snow and all the hills would be scraped right clean. Just slippery grass. But the kids would still be out there. Link to post Share on other sites

Its crazy how much Further West Hiroshima is but we always got snow there. I havent seen snow here in Kansai - only once you get outside of Kyoto on the expressway is where it usually started/stopped Link to post Share on other sites
I'm Sexy 0 Posted September 28, 2005 Share Posted September 28, 2005 I love it when snows in Tokyo. It's really fun. But it is not often. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 DD, maybe once a year. But even with slight snow, people there get in panic to drive their cars coz they are not accustomed to it. I live in snowland and people here used to it and cars here have special batteries for cold places, so do trains. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted September 29, 2005 Share Posted September 29, 2005 Even just out of the snowy regions of Niigata, like here in Sanjo, people aren't that used to snow driving. It happens a few times a year, but people aren't happy with it and many don't manage well. Link to post Share on other sites
advantyper 0 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 Any one got any good mountain to recommend in the Tokyo area or 2-3 hours train ride away from Tokyo? Tks in advance Link to post Share on other sites
facehugging-chestbuster 0 Posted September 30, 2005 Share Posted September 30, 2005 2-3 hours from Tokyo and there are probably 100 places! That gets you to Gunma, Niigata, Tochigi, even Nagano. Link to post Share on other sites
Dirk Diggler 0 Posted October 1, 2005 Author Share Posted October 1, 2005 Interesting, cheers for the posts! Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 3, 2005 Share Posted October 3, 2005 1 inch of snow in England and the whole country stops. I used to like that when I was at school. Link to post Share on other sites
joshnii 2 Posted October 4, 2005 Share Posted October 4, 2005 School get cancelled right? I think they'd need 2 meters overnight to close the schools down in some of the snow areas here! Link to post Share on other sites
