Snow Clearing Nozawa Onsen
The Shovel Measure in Nozawa
Throwback Thursday to some big snow seasons in the past. I often measure a heavy snow season by how many times I have to clear the snow off my roof. Anyone that has been to Nozawa has seen all the locals up there risking life and limb to keep the snow at bay as it piles up over the season. A huge dump can see up to a meter of snow accumulate on the tin overnight. Get a few nights of that and the roofs can become heavy so need to be cleared.
Snow Clearing Nozawa Onsen
An average season in Nozawa would say have to get up there for a serious clear maybe 3 times combined with some clearing of the edges in between. A real heavy snow season and you could be up there 5 or 6 times and that may still not be enough! It is a good work out and do enjoy the views but on a powder day there are places would prefer to be for sure. When you see the locals up there give them a wave but don’t distract them, it is a tricky job and at some serious heights.
How many times will we need to shovel the roof this coming season? Stay tuned..
