Snow is forecast again. But this time we are ready for it. We have a big shiny red shovel! We didn't manage to get any sand/grit/salt because everywhere has sold out. There are even reports of shops selling out of cat litter as it works well as grit! But this is all child's play compared to the massive snow falls in northern Japan where we would be shovelling daily at this time of year. And not with any old shovel either. There we used giant scoops called "Mamma Dumpers" (don't ask!) to transport the snow to an agreed part of the neighbourhood. And there would be the bi-annual changing of the car tyres to adapt to the road conditions.
But here we are ready and waiting .... and not a flake to be seen!
