Amazing, isn't it?
I'm trying to figure out if they started with a small snowfall, and kept building it up, or if they waited until it was several feet deep before cutting through it.
I'd assume the former, but that clean wall effect is puzzling...

what impresses me is that they are keeping the road CLEAN. (for the most part) I suspect - being japan, their road crews take great pride in keeping the pavement clear and the walls plumb.

I would love to see the equipment set up to keep the walls of the snow cavern that nice. I envision some sort of verticle snow plow...

It has been in a cycle: not rainy during the week and raining on the weekends. however, it rained yesterday, so I am hoping it will be at least decent this weekend.

You're so luck. I'd KILL for a weeks worth of all out rain - this summer has been BRUTAL & I for one can't wait for winter to come!

I'd KILL for a weeks worth of all out rain - this summer has been BRUTAL & I for one can't wait for winter to come! well, that's the difference between a brutal hot dry summer, and wanting to get the yard cleaned up because I need to start mowing, before the lawn gets out of control. (which involves getting some yard debris burned, other yard debris chipped and put in the garden, the irrigation system fixed, the catchbasin for the irrigation system cleaned out, the outside few layers in the garage reorganized so the mower isn't buried, and if I'm really on top of it, another few feet of my current batch of fallen trees cut up for firewood. and my epidemic of laurel cut back and burned. |

In which case I'll trade you your rain for our sunshine. We could do with a good down pour here. |

I was told in my high school science class that the reason it rains more on weekends is. Because people drive their cars during the week & the emissions help create a weather cycle that create more weekend rain patterns. Total BS if you ask me, personally I think someone's having a big cosmic joke @ our expense, by making it rain when we have the days off & sunny when we have to work. |

Waiting for the rest of the snow to melt to expose the entire lawn. Have a large area of sassafras to eradicate in the backyard before it completely takes over (any suggestions? that don't include napalm...). Need to empty out the shed so I can take it down and build a new one (second winter in a row that the roof collapsed). Spring: Time to fix all the things that winter broke. |

That is why you want to pay your weatherman well. it is more likely to be confirmation bias. |
