I am also aware that a quarter of the population of the country lives in the Kanto area so your media-centrism is justified to an extent.
However may I be allowed to just say, OK, this year has been light for me so far, with far less days digging a route for my car to get out of the carport, and yay! I haven't had to dig my way out of the front door yet, well, except for that one time but it wasn't really in earnest.
But.
Plus 50 cm overnight last night, with more to come (and it will be heavy weight stuff) and a work project which takes me off site today. I am just off to wade out to the carport to dig a path for the car, and I can see I will have to dig a path back at the end of the day too. I love living where I do, but sometimes it can be beyond a joke.
(News Flash: I just got a phone call from the work destination: there has been an avalanche on the one road in to it, so I have a reprieve until that is cleared)

From what I saw in dis'mornin' news there's places in Tokyo swimming under 15cm of cold unfrozen water...
Fracking cold wind right now

No wind, it rained overnight enough to not melt the snow while converting it into a dense wet mass with a layer of heavy slushice beneath

On the plus side, once the bulk is shifted, what's left melts away fairly quickly.
I am actually wondering if it's warm enough to employ the Traditional Japanese Snow-Clearing Method Using Cold Water.

But fornicate, my online order is stuck in the Kuroneko Yamato center in Kanagawa from last Friday, because all highways westwards are closed due to snow...

It'd be funny as hell if you'd ordered a snow shovel.

wagyl wrote:Russell, it was a hell of a lot of snow in areas that don't usually get it: for example, Kumagaya peaked at 62 cm on the ground. Usually you only hear Kumagaya mentioned with peak summer temperatures. It is still 32 cm at time of posting. I know that is not Tomei Expressway route, but it is an indication of how extraordinary this snowfall was for Kanto.

Need to get a sturdier snow shovel, the metal strip has come off already.

Same up here. Wednesday and Thursday.
I'm hoping and praying for a light dusting rather than another über-dump that will test my shovelling stamina to the limit.

last year's snow shovel bit the dust, or should I say ice, the first round of clearing this year, it was already split after being roughly abused digging out cars last year. The wife went out and got a metal shovel, bit pricey but we have a feeling it will be getting regular use. Neighbour's plastic shovel's wooden haft broke too.

Strange, I always had the impression that anywhere north of the Kanto plain turned into an ice-bound hell anyway in winter. Must get out more.
