This is a photo sent my mother by a friend from her hometown in northern Vermont. On the one hand, I envy that amount of precipitation. On the other hand, I am grateful not to have to shovel the little precip. we do get here.
Ah, the wonder of nature. Just wait until spring comes. Now where did I put my canoe?
Shimshonit 
Oh my God. I’ve never seen anything like that.
I wonder what will happen when the snow melts.
Raizy: I’d have thought it was photo-shopped if I hadn’t heard about all the snow in the Northeast (and everywhere else) this year.
Ilana-Davita: Serious flooding, I should think.
Wow! That’s an amazing photograph. I’ve never seen such a thing. Thank you for sharing.
That’s incredible!
But I wonder why it looks like the cars are driving on the wrong side of the road?
I finally tracked down where it *really* is. “The Tateyama Kurobe Alpine Route is a spectacular route through the Northern Japan Alps. This route connects Toyama City with Omachi Town in Japan.”

the dd: Neither have I. Happy to pass it along.
Mrs. S: See Rhu’s comment below yours.
Rhu: Can’t nobody put one over on you. Someday, perhaps you’ll share your incomparable sleuthing skills with me. Of course, my mother’s friend from northern Vermont didn’t actually say that was Orleans Country; she just sent the photo. But thank you for answering Mrs. S’s question; I didn’t know the Japanese drove on the wrong side of the road either.
I was wondering…we had big snowplows where I grew up in northern Michigan but I never saw a blade that would cut a bank that high :)
Japanese cars also have the steering wheel on the opposite side. They are super-cheap to import here (BC, Canada) and we have two.
