snowdude 44 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 That is looking better, the box is now useless for emergencies, great! Let's see if it can be made to totally disappear under snow over the next few weeks. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted January 28, 2014 Share Posted January 28, 2014 Sapporo is the same.....definitely more snow last January when we came up to find an apartment Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Noticeable again at Maiko. Obviously enough but in places that are usually smooth snow covered, shrubs and stuff still poking out. Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Been quite cold here except for this past couple of days, but very dry. We have several days where snow has fallen, but only been flurries or light showers here. Last week 4 out of 7 days it snowed, but not enough to accumulate all except one day where we had a little. I was expecting it to be either very cold and snowy or very warm and not snowy depending on which way the weather went. Instead it has just been cold, although far from very cold just quite cold for this area. Lowest we got down to here was -14 one night other wise mostly around the -8 - -11 mark, which so I have been told is not that cold for this area. Last year was very snowy here and colder, so the locals tell me. And when ever we came here there was always snow on the ground. February and March could offer an interesting bite though. Looks like all the cold and snow is over US and Canada and eastern Europe this year. I see even Florida had snow yesterday. But this is all part of a new ice age, which has already started, but is in its early stages and will continue to develop more over the coming years, creating more unstable weather patterns as many parts of the earth continues to cool more and more.

nippontiger 8 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Its a bit depressing this year so far - I've been itching to get out the last two weekends but not much snow fall so I didn't bother. This coming weekend is also not looking too great. Also bad for many of us is that the snow when has hit has often come on weekdays when we can't get to the slopes. Here's hoping for a much improved February and March. At least it looks like there's a decent cold snap on its way for next week. Link to post Share on other sites
SantaCruz 0 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 I was up at Whistler two weekends ago. Both mountains are entirely open but they haven't gotten a ton of snow. Some rocks poking through in a few places. All of the western North America is not having a good season so far. Link to post Share on other sites
Dunga 1 Posted January 29, 2014 Share Posted January 29, 2014 Most of Europe is having a shocker too. Was way too warm early and now too dry. When there has been dumps, they have been av'ing. Link to post Share on other sites
