Winter Continues

We had a heavy snowfall last night.
The roads that the piled-up snow was just taken away are right back at it again.

Today is national holiday(National Foundation Day) in Japan, but the people in Otaru could not have a relaxing morning because of the snow to clear away.

The train services between Otaru and Kuchan, another heavy snowfall town near Niseko well known as a ski resort worldwide were halted this morning.

Snow is rather a nuisance for the locals, but after all, it is the gift from nature. We are blessed with good quality water, and have little chance of water shortage even in the hottest summer owing to the snow we have in winter.
