Tubby Beaver 209 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 people (not in Japan) forget that Hokkaido is on the same latitude as France and the the mainland is on the same latitude as the Mediterranean countries such as Spain and Mid-Level Italy.......is there Snow there? No......its coming here, don't worry but the mountains are a lot smaller here than in Europe and will take a tad longer for the snow clouds to descend upon Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted November 5, 2011 Share Posted November 5, 2011 There have already been snowfalls high up of course. But yes it is very much autumn here. In our area Kagura usually gets to open very limited in the last part of November. They are looking to 23rd this year. Naeba for 12th Dec. Most places usually only manage to in mid to late December. That is up to 7 weeks away. I'm looking forward to it, but there's a ton of time to go yet. Just check the previous reports from other seasons..... Link to post Share on other sites
