>>133652235

>>133652185
Is that the one that had a single state-owned snowplow that broke down the day it was taken out?
>>133652235
Probably because of Hokkaido
>>133651865
I'm guessing it's similar to how things are in the UK. Snow is quite unpredictable here; sometimes we get none and sometimes we get quite a lot. Because it's so hit and miss, our government doesn't bother investing in infrastructure to deal with snow because it's cheaper and easier to basically justSHUT DOWN EVERYTHINGfor a few days until it goes away.
>>133652273
Japan has a couple of climate zones, even excluding Okinawa.
You have all year winter Hokkaido. Tokyo and Kansai regions with blazing hot summers. And iirc Kyushuu etc is subtropical.
>>133652273
I usually associate it with the weather in New England
>>133652185
Same here, we haven't had a lot of snow in my city for the last 10 years or so. A few centimeter for a few days max.

You do realize snow and ice buildup will fuck with the conductor rail or overhead lines on an electric train, right? Running the train under those conditions runs the risk of losing power to the whole train or blowing an entire line. The time, resource and maintainence costs of shutting a train line down for a while vastly outweighs the costs of it fucking up.

>>133654573
Part of the fear with driving is, in fact, other people. Even if you trust your own skills, you can't trust everyone else's, and snow makes that ten times worse, especially on the highway with dipshits who go 65 even if the roads are pure slush. Plus the other stuff that comes with winter, like black ice.Also I'm poor and can't afford snow tires.

Unfortunately, other drivers ARE retards. Had a snow plow dumper nearly take out my WRX, only avoided getting hit by intentionally getting sideways. And that's just one instance of stupid people driving in snow. WRX can be lots of fun, in the snow, but it's still incredibly limited. Don't let the picture fool you. Go into an open field, feel every bump from the not so smooth surface and you'll understand. Shredding the fuck out of a soccer field covered with a couple inch of snow sure is fun tho. The green chucked out the back provides lots of laughter.

Not the guy you responded to, but it's pretty obvious that you're not really used to actually driving in the snow.
There's a huge difference in driving, and sliding around a parking lot.

It's clear you don't know how to drive in snow. If you can actually drive in snow, know what the limit of your tires and grip are/braking points, and going appropriate speeds it's not much different than driving in the rain. Unless you're running all seasons/summer tires. Which you're a dumbfuck for anyways.
If you want to say other dumbfucks on the road make it dangerous then sure.

If you don't think driving in snow is inherently more dangerous than driving on dry roads than you're a fucking retard.
Driving in the rain is also more dangerous though not as dangerous as snow.
>Unless you're running all seasons/summer tires
That's most people who don't live in areas where heavy snow/ice are the norm... so most populated areas.
>>133655730
>If you want to say other dumbfucks on the road make it dangerous then sure.
Yes. This. This makes it more dangerous. Did I really have to spell this out?
I explicitly said that I had to drive more carefully. There is also a huge difference in driving a normal vehicle and a vehicle like the Mercedes Sprinter with a full loaded back in the snow.
>Driving on ice is a completely different matter
You know what usually comes with snow? Minus degrees.
You know what happens to wet roads when there's minus degrees? Ice.
I've been driving for about 4 years in this job. I know how to drive a car, and I know for a fact it's more dangerous to be on the road with snow.

Huoh boy, this guy.
I never have a much of an issue driving through snow. Ice though..... FUCK ICE.
Takes like 4 hours just to thaw my car out from a night of heavy icy rain. And nothing scares me more than driving on that shit.
That's why Colorado and New Mexico have the best winters: powdery snow, lots of it with no icy rain. Fuck winter in New England and double-fuck winter in all of the Midwest.

>>133656565

"heavy snowfall" in this context just means "a large enough volume in a short enough span of time that it impaired the function of transit before the appropriate services could be mobilized to clear it.
In this case, the rails of the train got covered, which make it unsafe conditions to operate until such a time that they can salt and clear them.

Certain places on the planet are not built to withstand certain conditions.
In my neck of the woods a half foot of snow and near zero degrees temperatures would be a world ending catastrophe. I'm dead serious. But a foot of rain is a mere inconvenience
In NewYork a foot of snow and near subzero temperature is just an average winter. But a few feet of rain would be like noahs flood and fuck everything.

DRESS IN MOTHERFUCKING LAYERS
My old roommate was Saudi, first winter in boston in one of the snowiest winters on record. He bought a single really expensive snowcoat, a pair of boots, and glove and a hat. He thought that'd be enough.
It wasn't.
Have long sleeve shirts, cover with sweater or sweatshirt, cover with jacket. If it's less than 10 degrees outside, or if you're going to spend more than an hour outside, wear your pajamas under your pants as long underwear. Add an extra sweater layer in between if it's below 0. And if anything gets really wet, change it as soon as possible.

kind of disappointed desu, but the cold is cool, the last 2 winters have been two of the coldest in history apparently, hoping for another repeat but it's been warm as fuck this month so far

Basically this. City infrastructure and services are built to deal with whatever problems are common, and aren't built to deal with ones that are rare.
A city where snowfall is uncommon won't spend taxpayer money and municipal budget to maintain a proper fleet of snowplows.

The fucked up thing is it used to snow here quite a lot until global warming became a thing.
>>133663529
Ya sure it did.

plenty of snow down there m8ey

>>133663175
My first two years there were warm, just like how this winter is shaping up. Although the snowfall amounts felt about normal the previous two years, it was awfully fucking cold. You'll get blizzards and frigid cold temps in your time there anon, don't you worry. Hope you have a massive backlog when that comes, cause you won't want to go outside after a month of subzero temps.
I moved from a place that rarely saw more than 30 cm of snow a year to a place where they use a jet engine to melt snow on the train tracks when it gets bad enough.
Life's great.

You callin me a liar m8?

Same here, only had to shovel once last year
>>133663689
Yeah, this winter is warm as fuck. So far.
I was walking around in a tshirt at night last week, when last year, snow was a regular thing by november.
I still started wearing my boots though this week though, even though there's no real need.

Kanto is a few degrees warmer than New York, and the Kansai is a few degrees warmer still. I had the good fortune of arriving in Tokyo on a day it hit 100.

I still loved the winters though. Watching anime while wrapped in a blanket, while the snow is drifting down outside, was the coziest feeling.I did my four years and couldn't break away. I'm starting my full-time job there shortly. I'm looking forward to all the winters to come. If you hear of a Special Collection of anime/manga being developed in CUL years into the future, you're welcome.

We don't go outside except to get in our cars or a shaded area.
nebraskan fag here, only have maybe 2 days where it's bad then it's just plain cold and icy roads

North Carolina can easily get a couple feet of snow.

>Watching anime while wrapped in a blanket, while the snow is drifting down outside, was the coziest feeling.
The best. And winter gives me time to actually work on the backlog and other hobbies, during summer, if it's more than 5C I'm generally outside. One of my favourite things about Canada; we actually get seasons, as opposed to 'slightly hotter' and 'slightly wetter'. Each season lets you appreciate the others more. Sort of: "this isn't going to be here forever, so might as well make the most of it."

I'm at uni in Boston, we got a fuckton of snow days last year. Everyone who's complaining about it is mostly complaining about driving or going out, but if you like shutting yourself in and watching some anime those days are the best.

Look up pix of Boston last winter and ask if you really want that. Not if you just want to visit for a week; if you want to live there, go to work in that (assuming the roads or transit are open), dress in at least three layers for about 3-4 months out of the year, etc.
You'll see how magical it is after one winter.
