Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 The weather forcast for where I live (near Numata, Gunma) was for rain, but it has been snowing all morning. Maybe not the driest stuff I have ever seen, but should provide a nice base for the drier flakes that will be falling in the next few days. Link to post Share on other sites

Gunma Boarder 14 Posted February 18, 2013 Author Share Posted February 18, 2013 Raining. really? what elevation are you at? I'm only at 300m and the trees are turning white! What a difference a mountain range can make. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 300m chikuma and nothing but massive white flakes. Cycling back home (about 5kms) is going to be a bit of a pain. Its not letting up in the slightest. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Yes really. I am in Muikamachi, so just above 200m. It's raining in Yuzawa though, which is 350m. Link to post Share on other sites
ippy 66 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Actually, yeah that is odd now i think about it. Wasnt today supposed to be pissing rain below 1000m? Cant honestly decide which one id prefer for the commute. Snows great, but its even better when it stays the **** off my roads so i can get to work and the gym. Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 While I don't usually put too much faith in longer term forecasts the JMA website is predicting a colder mid-Feb ~ mid-March than average with a higher chance of snowfall than average for the Hokuriku area.

snowdude 44 Posted February 18, 2013 Share Posted February 18, 2013 Heavy snow advisery out for parts of Yamanashi including Kofu at the moment, although it is still raining. Saying that it is only just over 1oC so hope they are right! Link to post Share on other sites
