mina2 6 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 We got spring conditions around mid-February this year and while we have had snowfalls since then they have been infrequent and light with the spring conditions coming back really quickly. How about where you are? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 Same here, it's generally been a bit rubbish since then.. spring came too early. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 That is too bad... Didn't you get any decent conditions snowbee? Link to post Share on other sites
sava 0 Posted March 22, 2006 Share Posted March 22, 2006 I was there for 4 weeks and I did get some excellent conditions... I also got 3 or 4 days of rain. It was still an awesome trip though :-). Link to post Share on other sites
bong 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Way too early is my answer. January was good though. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 It rained at the end of January in the Yuzawa region, if I remember correctly. Still had good days in February but I was never sure about how warm it would get. Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 Seems so: http://www.snowjapan.com/e/daily/yuzawa-now-archive.php?month=01&year=2006 Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted March 24, 2006 Share Posted March 24, 2006 Looking back, things seemed to go downhill generally from the first part of February. We got most of our quota in late Dec / early Jan it seems. Link to post Share on other sites
griller 9 Posted March 25, 2006 Share Posted March 25, 2006 Niseko seems to be doing all right recently... anyone on here been up there recently? Link to post Share on other sites
taguchi 0 Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Spring started in mid February I think for many parts of Honshu. Link to post Share on other sites
SerreChe 2 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I remember having a chat with another SJ dude in early jan talking about the huge dumps that we had in december. I told him at the time that december felt like it was actually january already and I was feeling like the season was 1 month ahead of itself. Every year in mid-feb there seems to be a warm-up with some rainy days, so I told him I was hoping that this was not gonna happen in mid-jan, and guess what... it actually did. Then when feb came around the corner, the temperatures felt more like march already. Kinda weird, but so far the 1-month ahead of itself season seems to have held true. Weird season...

xxx 2 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 I remember that discussion on here as well. Where will that cycle end I wonder? Another early winter next time round as well? Link to post Share on other sites
Thunderbird2 0 Posted March 28, 2006 Share Posted March 28, 2006 Hopefully a long spring, incredibly short summer and long autumn. Link to post Share on other sites
