I saw in a Japanese newspaper this morning that a ski resort filed for bankrupcy
due to record snow fall during this winter season.

From December 2005 to January 2006, the primary access trains to the area were
canceled 530 times due to heavy snow fall and the visitor to the resort was
down by 20% comparing to the regular year. In January, the town recorded
356cm (12 feet) of snow depth.

Kind of problem I want to see around here ;-).

We could have used that snow....

So that is where it all went...
