well at least in this neck of the woods ...
i declare yesterday as the day of the ultimate "jifubuki". fubuki means blizzard, but the kanagi area calls them jifubuki because the blizzard comes from the ground as well as the sky. i have never seen it as bad as it was yesterday. on my way to work, i literally couldn't see anything but white with occasional mild breaks in the storm. i saw 2 accidents (not major, one truck went into a snow bank because it couldnt see and the other missed a turn and ended up on the side). we didnt get our milk for lunch because the milk truck got an accident as well. and it usually take 5 minutes tops to get home from work, but yesterday it took 45 minutes because of traffic and the conditions. at least today is better!
im heading to sapporo tonight, woo hoo! check back for pictures of the snow festival and such in couple of days!!

i bet you thought about my idea once during that white out! (the rope tied from your house to your school then you could of walked!) I am glad you made that trek safe and sound though and hopefully you do not have many more of those experiences!
holly just experienced the 2nd heaviest snowblizzard in nyc history yesterday. and it's her first winter there... then jack and i experienced our first winter here with the worst in 20 years. then you in aomori...
