Japan gets some of the heaviest snow in the world! In February 2022 I headed to the town of Yuzawa in Niigata prefecture to undertake a marathon 48hrs snow measuring challenge during a huge sea effect outbreak. The results blew my mind!

Thanks for sharing π. Keep it up
At least you didn't have friendly ryokan staff this time to clear the snow off your car for those shotsπ
I feel so conflicted. I hate cold, but I love being surrounded by heavy snowfall. I'll bet that thick of a falling snow muffled the heck out of the surroundings. Was it eerily quiet?
Goodness gracious thatβs a HEAP of snow π±!!
They sure are pros at clearing it though.
BTW James, I hope you and your family are safe after the earthquake that happened. As soon as I saw the news I immediately went to your Twitter feed. I hate to hear about it thatβs for sure.
Thanks for posting this awesome video.
That was absolutely incredible. Thank you so much for sharing it with us. You film everything so beautifully. Where does it all go the snow go when it melts?

Hello, My storm hunting fan in the past 2 years due to the covid 19 epidemic, your hurricane hunting work would be interrupted if there was no covid 19 epidemic, your list of storms recorded 2 more intense super storms that are goni and rai 2 typhoon Philippines monster . Now your video is so fresh and good you edit the video very well the snow scene is beautiful . Well done James. Can you make a list of the number of storms you hunt from 2006 to 2020 because I need to compare you and Josh of Icyclone

No thank you, haha! Looking forward to your videos this summer. Jesus loves you. John 3:16
"For God so loved the world that He gave His one and only Son (Jesus), that whoever believes in Him shall not perish but have eternal life."
Oh my god that is huge, I never knew Japan got that much snow. If this new hurricane hits Mexico will you chase it?
