Because here are some zenmen tenbou videos I found recently on YouTube of rail travel in winter conditions in Japan:

 

Nagaragawa Railway Etsumi-Nan Line, complete trip:

 

 

JR West Takarazuka Line (neé Fukuchiyama Line), Sasa-Yamaguchi to Osaka Stations:

 

 

You really want to have a warm mug of hot tea or coffee watching these videos.

Note that both these videos were filmed in January 2017 during and after a major snowstorm that went through central Japan.

Not too bad. We live that everyday for what seems like half the year sometimes. Looking at -23ºC overnight over the next few days with 5-20 cm of snow by Monday. Just another February weekend. If it's not windy and you're dressed for it can be quite pleasant out.

 

Cheers eh,
