Snowpocalypse

For the second weekend in a row Tokyo was slammed with record breaking snowfalls.  28" was added to about the 6" we still had from a few days prior.  The snow was very very heavy and caused quite a few trees to come down here on base.  Needless to say shoveling it was backbreaking.  When the base finally reopened today 2 days after the storm, it was interesting to get off base and see the Japanese trying to use dustpans and dirt shovels to dig out.  Plows are few and far between, so as you can imagine, the roads were wretched.

And more is in the forecast for Tuesday!
