Misawa Snow

We get the best snow in Misawa. I was impressed last year by the amount of snow we got... but this year has been even snowier. I am just really glad that Chris is here to shovel!
This was from a couple weeks ago. We woke up on a Thursday morning to 19 inches of new snow. These pictures were taken after most of the shoveling was done. 

We're running out of places to put the snow... every thing you shovel tends to roll back down to the sidewalk.

Midway through shoveling out all around our cars, the snowplow came blocked us in again... grr.

This is the monster icicle in our back yard that's threatening to slowly wall us in. That low shelf you see by the base of the icicle is actually the table attached to our grill... Yes, we probably should have put it into the storage shed for the winter.


Huck has one path he takes between the back door and the trees. He tries to keep it packed down, but unfortunately the snow keeps filling it. 

He's a pretty good swimmer though.

  1. LOL! Do you guys live on base? Is that what that neighborhood is? We just got our first snow since we've been here this week. It lasted barely a day, but it's snowing again and now we have almost an inch on the ground! And they closed the base because of that inch.... =) (They put marble in the roads here and they are SUPER slippery, even when they're just wet, let alone snowy. Plus the Italians don't have plows or salt trucks. They're totally unprepared for snow.)
