here in Beckenham,
we had a few flurries a few days ago and the children in the flats built a few small snowmen, but there was not enough snow to build big ones, but if you go high
against the slopes of Mount Zaō, in central Japan, the cold, moisture-laden
winds from Siberia slams into creating a natural wonder that brings thousands
of tourists every winter from all over Japan, photograph Krishna.Wu/Shutterstock.com
tiny
water droplets that the strong wind carries freezes against Mount Zaō’s pine
trees and their branches forming icicles, Juhyo

and make these impressive snowmen, Snow
monsters at Mount Zao, photograph aon168/Shutterstock.com, these icicles grow nearly horizontal, owing to the strong
winds, over which falling snow settles creating towering, grotesque white
figures that the Japanese call “snow monsters” or juhyo,
the phenomenon similar
to juhyo is observed in Finland shown above and below at the Riisitunturi National Park,
the
Finnish call it “tykky”, naturally made snowmen, but where is the snow to build ours? as anaide I normally drop one or two PC clangers a week, I lived out of PC UK for more than 30 years or so, meaning I have not kept up with the language change in my absence, so can I still say snowmen or is it snowpersons?
