NutteyCubey 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 OK so I keep on hearing this. Is there any truth in it or it is just rubbish? And I'd be interested to know if there's any science explaining it, or whether it's just looking at history. Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 there's a big difference between cold and snowy mainly due to precipitation issues. I would believe that hot and cold are related, but not precipitation Link to post Share on other sites
veronica 2 Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 Whatever.... it's a nice thought, especially when we're in the middle of a very hot summer. Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 What I heard was hot summer = snowy winter. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 and tons of stink bugs = good winter or is it jellyfish? Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Had a long, deep, and meaningful talk with Barry last night - he said were in for an epic winter. So, there you have it!! I predict that the storm that hit at New Years last year will hit just around the 20th of December Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted August 4, 2005 Share Posted August 4, 2005 Why not go for broke and say the storm that hit on New Years last year will hit on November 1st this year Link to post Share on other sites
USA 0 Posted August 7, 2005 Share Posted August 7, 2005 Stink bugs or jellyfish? Are these traditional tales over in Japan then? Which one is good for snow? Link to post Share on other sites
Curt 1 Posted August 8, 2005 Share Posted August 8, 2005 Ocean11 is the man for this one. I think he supported the stinkybug theory. Link to post Share on other sites
snowboard 0 Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 I'm not bothered about temperatures. It's the quality of the snow that concerns me. Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 O11, do you not believe in the old stinkybug-jellyfish theory any more? Link to post Share on other sites
damian 0 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Jelly fish. lots of them = lots of snow. Mind you, I have been down at my local park picking and eating blackberries all morning. There are millions of them. That bodes well for a snowy Japanese winter. Link to post Share on other sites
me jane 0 Posted August 21, 2005 Share Posted August 21, 2005 Got stung by a jellyfish last week - that'll teach me to go in the sea after dark. Link to post Share on other sites
gamera 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Hum.. have never heard that jelly fish part relating on the snow. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 I have borrowed Rahul's charts. My prediction is that there will be snow in Japan, mostly North and West Honshu and Hokkaido, between December and March. Link to post Share on other sites
peaker 0 Posted August 22, 2005 Share Posted August 22, 2005 Well you are all a bit early with this conversation as the Japan Meteorolgical Agency hasn't even released their long range snowfall forecast yer but if you watch this space you'll be able to get the geeky perspective as soon as its available. http://cpd2.kishou.go.jp/tcc/outlooks/outlook.html Link to post Share on other sites
