Trying to get to work

Sometimes it can be a real mission just to do simple things like get to work on time to shoot an early wedding. After a fair dumping of snow and very icy roads such tasks can become impossible.

I managed to get my 50cc scooter as far as the end of the driveway before getting totally stuck and having to turn back. My lovely wife was kind enough to record my troubles just before giving up and turning back only to have to walk 40mins with my camera gear on my back to get to my job.

Winter on the roads in Japan is a very dangerous time (at least here in Northern Japan). Its only our 2nd big day off snow here and already loads of traffic accidents have been reported.

I still LOVE the snow though!!
