On the
days when snow doesn’t fall, people take advantage of it and try to clear away
some of the snow that’s on the ground.
Most of the time that means scooping it up into trucks. There’s no room to push the snow to the side
of the road. This was near the Culture
Community Center.
Near
the library, the street was closed so the machines could chop up the snow and
shoot it into trucks that were lined up, waiting to be filled. It took about three minutes to fill a truck,
then another took its place.
People
have to shovel the roofs to prevent them from caving in. It’s also common to cover first floor windows
because the snow can break them if they aren’t.
I hope
you are enjoying a sunny day, too.
Wow this is a lot of snow.
ReplyDeleteYes, thank you, it was sunny in Tokyo and that helped melt the heavy snow that fell the day before!
ReplyDeleteMy parents were in Hokkaido in the late forties, part of the Army's reconstruction efforts. I have always been amazed at how people have to adapt to live with so much snow! Are they recycling that water in reservoirs or something? Just curious. That's a *LOT* of snow!
