I bring you the reality of removing snow at a typical home in Sapporo.
It was snowing all day long in Sapporo on January 16, 2024. No matter when I shoveled the snow, I knew it would pile up again soon, so I left it alone until the next day. I failed. The snow is heavy. My physical strength was wasted. No matter what the weather is, if it snows, shovel it right away! This is the golden rule of snow country.
