sava 0 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 Looks like lots of rain Particularly warm on the longest range forecast: I leave in 5 days! I don't want rain! Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted January 9, 2006 Share Posted January 9, 2006 For some reason the snow data maps seem to have been slightly out of synch with reality as of late. I hope it does not warm-up and starts raining, that would suck big-time. If it does just when you arrive then that's pretty unlucky. Link to post Share on other sites

sfesharaki 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 Is rain on the mountians during the winter common in Hakuba are? Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Author Share Posted January 10, 2006 The forecast is starting to improve a bit based on jma temps. Snow-forecast is still saying that there'll be rain. Link to post Share on other sites
mattlucas 0 Posted January 10, 2006 Share Posted January 10, 2006 I'm actually hoping for some warm weather as all of my pipes are frozen. It was -10 last night when I got home from Hakuba Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted January 11, 2006 Share Posted January 11, 2006 It rains at least once every year in Hakuba mid season. This rain on the way should clear a few people roofs at least. We've got a good 1.5m of compacted stuff on the place next door that might take out a window or two when it falls. The roof is very steep but has lots of dormers, and there's no one in there. Basically if you don't heat a place, the snow won't slide off even a steep roof. It just builds up and builds up. Link to post Share on other sites
