scouser 4 Posted October 29, 2006 Share Posted October 29, 2006 Didn't see this anywhere else but just for the record - and so we can (hopefully) see if they were wrong, just like last year. Nov - Jan: - most of Japan warmer than normal - northern Tohoku and Hokkaido, normal or warmer than normal Link to post Share on other sites
sanjo 2 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 They got it wrong for the first part of winter, but after the madness in late December/January, "spring" did arrive early. Link to post Share on other sites
number9 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Haha, what's the accuracy of weather forecasts these days for various lengths of time? Link to post Share on other sites
NisekoPancakes 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 What I want to know is: If it has absolutely no meaning whatsoever - why do they do it? Link to post Share on other sites
skidaisuki 0 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I quite agree - it IS pointless because it has such big provisos attached to it (understandably in these days of even more unpredictable weather). The fact is, good season or bad, snow's on the way and there'll be a lot of skiing and boarding to be had Link to post Share on other sites
2pints-mate 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Correct me if I'm wrong but it's not a "snow forecast" directed towards skiers and boarders anyway is it? Just a general weather forecast? Link to post Share on other sites
jgraves 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Is that Rahul's 3-month forecast? Link to post Share on other sites
scouser 4 Posted October 31, 2006 Author Share Posted October 31, 2006 I see rahul lurking quite often here. He must be waiting for his next "big one". Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 0 Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Would be happy to be proved wrong but it looks there is a weak El Nino this year. This means below average snowfalls doesn't it? Link to post Share on other sites

minus 1 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Lets hope so. The stinkbugs are telling us to be optimistic. God knows what the jellyfish are saying. Link to post Share on other sites
JohnG 0 Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 can't remember a good el nino season myself, how'bout others? Link to post Share on other sites
