Is the temperature above freezing, or are the winds just really strong?? The snow falling onto the car and ground appears to be melting faster than it's accumulating for the first 40 seconds of the video.
That's NOT a lot of snow. Look at videos of Lake Tahoe California/Nevada area and south of this area is Mammoth Mountain, California. Mammoth Mountain got far as I know 800 inches of snow before and that's over 65 FEET of snow. Mt. Baker, Washington a dormant volcano and a ski area there got 1140 inches of snow in the winter of 1998-1999. That's over 95 FEEt of snow for the winter season. Oh that happens to be the United States and the worldwide record for seasonal snowfall. Unrelated to this video, I was in the US Air Force and stationed at Clark Air Base, Philippines 1974-1976.
@@RhebheczQBLIFE, today is 11-4-20. Yesterday I wrote to Wade Chafe a long but not a very long what I found out that happens in Japan. Wade is the one who recorded this video and that you, others, and myself wrote comments about what Wade had put on RU-vid. Anyway you can can read what I wrote to Wade and look on RU-vid videos about what I found out a few years ago there in Japan. Three years ago an American living and working in Japan posted on RU-vid channel his videos of different parts of Japan and his travels in that country. I forgot what he said his name is but his RU-vid channel name is listed here. WAO RYU! ONLY in JAPAN Very that first two words are Japanese. Okay he RU-vid video tape of walking through that snow wall that tourist from a lot countries in the world to visit including the Philippines. Okay Japan calls this route, Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route. I forgot if it is on this snow wall route or across the valley the mountain peak has 3,015 meters high in elevation. That is only 9,891 feet high in non metric measurements. There's a whole a lot of mountain peaks in Colorado over 14,000 feet high. Where this alpine route is in Western Japan. In winter time clouds bring moisture over the Sea of Japan and literally they just get dumped in FEET not inches. In this video that this American video taped, the highest of this wall was 19 meters high = to 62 FEET high! That's the height of 4 CITY BUSES or more!!! Over the years that guy said it averages just 16 meters. This place in Japan is either the 2nd most, or tied, or the most highest seasonal snowfall record worldwide. Part of this video may have buried that road in avalanche(s) at the 3:24 to beyond 3:42 mark. Show these videos to your family/friends.
Dang man. You already had a shit-ton of snow before the storm, then you get another storm like this. I love the snow, but this would be too much for me to handle. Where I live, if we get a foot of snow, that is a lot. A couple weeks of this, and I'd tap out. lol
Wade Chafe, this maybe a large amount of snow where you are from but compared elsewhere in the world it's not. Please don't think I'm complaining but think about that saying, "there's always someone worse off than you are". People that look at this video and yourself look some video or videos of a "tourist attraction in Japan" of subject listed. Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route, Japan. It known as the "roof of Japan". Water moisture in clouds blow from China across the "Sea of Japan" and literally Dumps in Western and Northwestern Japan. This Mt. Tateyama is only 3,015 meters high equal to 9,891 feet high. An American living/working in in Japan has videos about life in Japan and he filmed a RU-vid video about this alpine route. This video was filmed three years ago and does speak some Japanese. His RU-vid channel is WAO RYU! ONLY in JAPAN. I don't recall is name now. The video is around 30 minutes long. 3:24 to about 3:42 is shown avalanche(s) may have happened. 9:32 bus compared to the snow wall. 16:07 highest snow wall point(again 3 years ago), 19 Meters high equal to 62 FEET wall of compacted ice & snow. That's the height of a 5 story building. Most years this wall is just 16 meters high. I live in this wimpy winter weather Michigan.
Hi Wade, name is (Floatwithme) I am Dutch composer. Thats's a pretty big snowstorm. My gosh I can't remember anymore we had such a heavy winter. Cheers Ray
I'm working on a documentary with a story about the Nfld blizzard. Wondering if you'd allow me to use some of this in the show. I'm looking for any photos/videos from the storm. Please do send me your email. Hope to hear from you soon. Best, Anna
Why do people say snowfall such as shown in this is a lot??? This an'it squat diddysville!!! When Mt. Baker, Washington got the all time worldwide record seasonal snowfall of 1140 INCHES=MORE than 95 FEET snow that makes Buffalo, New York way behind in snowfall seasonal amount. Mt. Baker's snowfall event that season is 4 times what Buffalo ever gets.
