Was coming down hard enough to skin a cat for awhile...

One would almost think it was winter...

Just waiting for comments here and on other forums wondering why Tokyo doesn't have a fleet of snow clearance vehicles ready to go at the drop of a snowflake.

Whoosh.

Drove around the city all morning...idiots walking in the middle of the fucking roads (in tire tracks), cars without chains or snow tires sliding into things (caught one on video) or getting stuck trying to go up hills, and just plain old morons that don't adjust their driving to account for the weather conditions. That being said, they're probably better off doing something with the railways first. (like burying them?)

Most places that seldom get snow don't keep a big expensive fleet of snow plows and other equipment around and it makes sense. It's the same reason I don't own any heavy duty winter boots. At most I'd need them one or two times a year.

But how many of those days actually see accumulation? That's what I was talking about. Not every day there are some flurries or snow on Mt. Takao. Plus it's not unusual for the western suburbs like Hachioji to get some snow when the rest of Tokyo doesn't.
