iiyamadude 6 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 It is going to be a deeply deep winter. A jellyfish off the coast of Joetsu told me yesterday. And the old guy next door promises me that after a madly hot summer, it's a very snowy winter. I believe him. Not consulted the kamemushi yet, but they usually only come out to play in autumn anyway.

JA2340 16 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I can go with a dump 31 Dec, so long as there's been a decent base built up before that, and the stuff stays around until 31 Jan (or gets a good few refills between times) Anyone with a direct line to the snow god? Please put that is as an order for me. Link to post Share on other sites

HelperElfMissy 42 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 Well I reckon piste maps need to hit the freezer NOW! The Aussie guys started stashing thiers in the freezer at the start of the season, and look what it got them. SFA until NOW. So lets get them in there now people. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 in another thread I mentioned that I have already spied Jellyfish in the water of Yokohama harbour and when asked about what this means for the snow this year, this is what I said......

Tends to give more accurate information like the season starting date of the 28th of November. And yes I got "VERY snowy year" as well. Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted August 28, 2010 Share Posted August 28, 2010 I consulted with my magic crystal ball and asked, "Will it be a very snowy winter and will I be balls deep in powder everyday?" It responded by saying "are you coming on to me?" Link to post Share on other sites

Actually I got it right the past two years if you look back at my predictions!!!! And yes I will give a prediction for this coming winter soon! But I'm sure everyone will tell me I am wrong anyway, regardless!! One thing I know is that I have been more accurate then the pros. Although I hadn't mentioned it here I had actually predicted a long hot summer this year! Anyway I will be putting out my prediction again this year! Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 Great. You should have posted that summer prediction for us snowdude. Anyway, I'm waiting on my decision to order a snow-blower machine or not for your prediction so don't wait too long to post! Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 snowdude your forecast for last winter was Quote: Well it's that time of year again when I dish out my winter forecaat. In a few words this winter is going to be a very cold and snowy winter! Unlike last year much clearer signs all pointing to a very cold winter! Your main point being that it was going to be a 'very' cold winter. Fact is it was at or slightly above average temperatures over much of the country for most of the winter. The biggest departures from the average were in Hokkaido in Jan with much of the island having significantly above ave temps and the bottom half of Honshu in Feb was well above average. Snowfall around the country was reasonable but apart from some isolated areas was mostly around average or below. I'm honestly not sure how you decide that you got it right. Do you even look at any statistics of the actual temperatures and snowfalls and compare them to the average to work out if your prediction was correct? Or do you just go with some sort of gut feel?? It felt pretty cold so you must have been right? This belief in the infallibility of your forecasts just isn't backed up by reality! Link to post Share on other sites
panhead_pete 27 Posted August 29, 2010 Share Posted August 29, 2010 But thats 1/2 the fun. Mine are deadly accurate though GN - you can count on it! As they are my arrival dates in Hakuba LOL. Link to post Share on other sites

Tex 3 Posted August 30, 2010 Share Posted August 30, 2010 Come on, no fair, you cannot try and predict weather without a little over confidence. How depressing otherwise. It is the weather after all . I watch all the TV weather dudes and dudettes and wonder what drugs they are taking to make some of the calls they do. I am pretty good with our local weather, but the blind faith they put out there at times is pretty funny, computer models you understand. They just come back smiling the next night like it never happened. Keep it up Snowdude - I believe ya (as long as it is good news that is). Link to post Share on other sites
