snowdude 44 Posted October 28, 2010 Author Share Posted October 28, 2010 Well got the parafin heater out last night and gave it a bit of a run, tonight too! Was quite cold here last night down to 5oC and tonight is already close to that maybe close to a frost tomorrow morning if the sky clears! Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 29, 2010 Share Posted October 29, 2010 That lady always makes me smile. She's kind of cute in an innocent kind of way and not an overly-sweet stereotypical way. Looked better with longer hair though (but then again don't all ladies?) Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted November 9, 2010 Share Posted November 9, 2010 On topic, I used to think the weekend NHK weather girl was cute. She looks a bit Seiko Matsuda-ish. But then she went and cut her hair too. I wonder if she is forecasting snow. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 Whats this thread doing on the 3rd page!? JMA has Niigata down for 30% chance of less than average snow, 40% chance of average snow and 30% chance of more than average snow forecast for Dec-Feb. Northern Japan with a slightly skewed to the "less than usual" area. That sounds rather balanced! Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 December is slightly biased for colder and more precipitation, so that sounds all right to me. I always look at Hokuriku because Nagano gets lumped together with Tokyo. Memory only, but they have been biasing most winters toward "warm" in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted November 26, 2010 Share Posted November 26, 2010 'Biasing'?? Their forecast models may well have predicted warmer winters but I'd hardly consider that a bias. Considering there have been very few winters over the last decade that have averaged below the long term average I'd say they haven't been too far off the mark. The fact they are forecasting a colder than average December is encouraging. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Interesting, for where I am this November has actually worked out colder than last year, although November was supposed to have been on average warmer than last year. Average mean low for Kofu for Nov = 4oC Average mean high for Kofu for Nov = 16oC Nov 2009 monthly mean low = 4.5oC Nov 2010 monthly mean low = 3.2oC Nov 2009 monthly mean high = 15.3 Nov 2010 monthly mean high = 14.7 I am a little further up the mountain and not in central Kofu so naturally I would expect the average temps to be lower than Kofo, but never the less this November has been on avearge colder than last year. This year has seen more minus nights and low single figures than last year. Link to post Share on other sites
