I really enjoyed looking at those pictures FROM YOKOHAMA. That's far enough for me. Good god, I wouldn't last one week in Yamagata.

I was waiting for “there’s snow business like ..” 😉

Did a great trip to Ginzan Onsen two years ago in the snow, truly beautiful scenery. But I wasn’t driving or sliding or spinning thank goodness!

Snow business! Haha good one. Ginzan I've only been to for a very short while, hard to get a place there now it seems! I did a slide yesterday morning, so glad the following distances increase when there's snow, I wouldn't have been so lucky I feel.

I'm happy to have Izumo snow where it mostly blows past the house and doesn't settle. Mind you the wind can be a problem too when it tries to blow you over into the ditch but you learn. Sometimes, as in the case of the middle school girl we saw yesterday, you learn by having the wind literally blow you and your mamachari into the soft mud of the tambo... but she got up dusted herself off and proceeded to walk and claimed to be unhurt

I like the snow when I can go visit it on my terms, I don't like it when it comes to visit me on its terms

Yeah that sounds like a valid alternative! I bet it still gets cold there though!

Wind chill is very definitely a thing, this is true
