pie-eater 207 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 The island of Japan is a big place though Kev; so perhaps people need to mention where they are voting for on this here 島国 (with four seasons). Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Seems unlikely as things are now but hey stranger things have happened. There's usually one last burst, but I think most people thought that was what we got a week or so ago. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Would be good to get a pre-weekend refresh. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 In the 4 days I was down in Shonan, it appears that winter has lost it's grip in Sapporo.......raining and when the sun makes an appearance, it's actually warm!! The big melt has started Link to post Share on other sites

Metabo Oyaji 71 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Appi Kogen looks to be getting a decent topping up, just in time for my arrival this weekend: http://www.snowjapan.com/japan-ski-resorts/iwate/hachimantai/appi-kogen/snow-weather-reports But I'm easy. I'll be happy with anything other than rain! Link to post Share on other sites
snowdude 44 Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Rained here all day today althoigh it has stopped now. Most of our massive amounts of snow we had has melted away. Some fields still white and areas away from the sun still have snow cover and still got snow walls outside my house but only a metre tall or less now. In the last two weeks it has really melted. But thats good actually otherwise cant do anything thing with my fields if covered in snow. At least I can use one of them now. The other I reckon a couple more weeks then half shoulld be clear.

muikabochi 208 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Find it hard to motivate myself when it's like that. Will try though. Might get my bike out as well soon. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Me too TBH. It'll still be a fair time before I get the bike out, it's still under about 4-5 foot of snow Link to post Share on other sites
MagSeven 40 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 It wasn't that bad at Teine today! Off piste it was quite crusty and windblown, but the pistes were perfect. I had a great few hours lapping the park and a few tree lines. I got a goggle tan and an ice cream toothache from smiling so much! Coming up for Gaper Day on Friday Tubby?
