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!

  1. At least you didn't have friendly ryokan staff this time to clear the snow off your car for those shots😜

  2. 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?

  3. Goodness gracious that’s a HEAP of snow 😱!!
    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 that’s for sure.
    Thanks for posting this awesome video.

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
