muikabochi 208 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Mt Granview's impressive peaks are covered in cloud this morning so I can't see. But I realistically expect at least 40cm up there. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 The said on the news last night that the mountainous areas of Hokkaido will get a nice dusting today. I laughed when they said mountainous. Silly fools, don't they know its flat?! Link to post Share on other sites

I laughed when they said mountainous. Silly fools, don't they know its flat?! The slightly less flat areas close to me got some snow last night. Still very cloudy, but Pinneshiri which is 1,100m is looking white up top this morning. It's feeling pretty chilly so I imagine there'll be more to come over the weekend.

snowdude 44 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Im surprised by just how much snow fell and how low down the snow line is looks like went down to around the 2000 m mark , from Yamanashi side anyway it is white down to as low as I can see the base. Dont remember there being so much snow on Fuji this date in October at least not in recent years. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Last night walked home in a drizzle comfortable enough in a t-shirt; this morning wore fleece jacket and halfway to the station decided to zip it up! :thumbsup: Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 19, 2012 Share Posted October 19, 2012 Near in mind SD that the cover is off the back of the typhoon rain that fell last night. Got to work this morning to be told the ensoku was today......a bit airy at 8.30 to be walking about in shorts n t-shirt. Fast forward to lunch time and it was beautiful....but I hadn't prepared and used sun cream or a brought a hat......hot a head like a strawberry chuppa chup now!! Link to post Share on other sites
