Lucky git, proper snow that

coolangatta

We get snow for almost 4 months solid. Becomes very tiresome, especially when my journey time to work is extended from the normal 35mins to over 2 hours

Will

is that in japan? looking at your location??

coolangatta

Yes, northeast Honshu.

Will

nice 1 mate, lucky you. not seen snow in wales for donkeys

coolangatta

Still waiting for the plough to come down this way. There's no way I can get my 'work wagon' out to the main road as it's about half metre deep and drifts of a metre or more. I need some booze for this evening

Will

coolangatta

It's 13:30hrs as I write. (GMT +9hrs).

Nice to see you got your priorities right............Scoobs under cover!!

Hope you get your beer and all the best for 2009

coolangatta

I 'enjoyed' an hour and a halfs walk to the off-licence and back this afternoon. Bloody hard work it was wading through knee deep snow and avoiding the drifts.
Was even more difficult on the way back carrying a back pack full of beer, wine and a bottle of Bacardi
I put on my snowboarding gear and a pair of wellies

coolangatta

Cheers..all the best to you too!

lovinmescoob

Glad to see you got your beers.

Cheers and have a good un!!

looks a bit nippy

coolangatta

You're right, it is. Minus 5 degs at lunchtime, again, with a 40 mph wind. Not unusual for these parts though.
I much prefer to have a 'real winter' rather than wet/foggy/damp shiote.

Blimey! You'd need to keep your vest tucked in your knickers in that kind of weather.

bugeyeandy

Gotta keep the japs eye warm

Seasons greetings mate, you can keep your snow thanks we grind to a halt with 1mm of the stuff. I can't imagine what'd happen if we had that much

coolangatta

Trust me, my vest is pushed well down my Y-fronts

oldsplice

Do you need any help?

STi Lou

They are beautiful pictures, thanks for sharing!

coolangatta

Seasons greetings in return mate.
4 wheel drive, winter tyres and good fortune has seen me through so far
I think I'm a much improved winter driver since driving each winter on compacted snow/ice

coolangatta

You're so kind

coolangatta

Thank you. They were quick snaps before I froze to be honest.
Glad you liked them

Would I get elastic marks on my wrists?

I don't suppose there's much chance of having snow like that in April in Tokyo, is there?

I can totally sympathize with you about being "over" the snow. The first big fall is always nice to see, then realization dawns that the daily drive will be slower, plus you need to clear the drive, and contend with other nutters on the road who seem to think it's a dry summers day. We spent part of yesterday clearing an accumulated 2 - 3 feet of snow from the deck, should have done it earlier as it had been rained on, so the bottom portion was horrible, heavy slush.

It got up to a sweltering 11C yesterday, nearly took my shirt off to get a tan Think it's meant to be dropping to a warm -2 during the day, feeling more like -6 with the windchill.
