snowdude 44 Posted October 16, 2014 Author Share Posted October 16, 2014 Yes now the sun is out I can see Fuji, it has a really nice white cap down quite low. Some of the higher peaks here should have got snow too, but still covered in cloud. Hopefull will clear up. Link to post Share on other sites
Go Native 70 Posted October 16, 2014 Share Posted October 16, 2014 Actually that doesn't look like snow to me. It's ice from the glacier overflowing out of the crater. Another harbinger of the approaching ice age. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Weather report yesterday was saying that Hokkaido/Sapporo is likely for its first snowfall next week as an early cold front moves down…….if thats true, that would make those clever little yuki-mushi correct…..it'd be about 10 days since I first saw them that the snow appeared……if it does actually appear Link to post Share on other sites
sapporo 8 Posted October 18, 2014 Share Posted October 18, 2014 Hope it does! Otherwise the two hours spent putting up snow defenses in the garden with the father-in-law was wasted this afternoon! Link to post Share on other sites
Popular Post MagSeven 40 Posted October 19, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted October 19, 2014 Hiked Teine today and got incredible views all the way up to Asahidake and the rest of Daisetsuzan. Also could see the summit of Yotei. Daisetsuzan range with the city in the foreground Close up on Asahidake (bit blurry as the camera was at full zoom!)
