| The extreme
amount of snow made for sights that Audrey and I
had never witnessed before growing up and living
in the warm southeastern US. The mountains
and other landscape around Yonezawa added even more
to the beauty. Even with all the snow, daily
life continued on in Yonezawa. Below and on
the next couple of pages I will give you a taste
of Winter Time in Yonezawa. |

This was taken on a
road going through the middle of a rice field in
the outskirts of Yonezawa.

Back in town, clearing
the snow is a constant task. The store behind
the snow plow belongs to our landlord.

Here is a cold Audrey
standing on our street. The street is normally
a little more than two lanes wide but when the snow
starts piling up, streets get narrower and narrower!
|
|
|
Not to mention the
sidewalks which become trenches!
|
|
|
This is the cool little
one-man machine which makes the sidewalk trenches.
It has a rotating snow blower blade on the
front and blows snow off to the side.

I'm not ducking the
camera, the snow is almost as high as me!

|
Our landlord's garage
looks like someone frosted it like a cake.

|
|
You cannot leave your
car in one place for very long without cleaning
the snow off or this is what will happen to it!!!
