muikabochi 208 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 It's like autumn again here today. No snow on view at all, not too cold. The koyo is still going strong. I protest! Link to post Share on other sites
coldcat 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 Technically speaking, we are still in Autumn. Be patient and hopefully we'll have plenty of snow soon. Last year was a bit of an anomaly since snow came very early. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted November 21, 2006 Author Share Posted November 21, 2006 Yes I know, I was just moaning. It's usually another month before places round here get going. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 oi stop moaning go out on the weekends NOW and get totally guttered while you still can - cause once the snow comes you won't want to have a hangover (not one like i did on sunday) Link to post Share on other sites
Ocean11 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 I got bitten by a mosquito today. I think I may have malaria. Link to post Share on other sites
eskimobasecamp 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 your season is over then eh Link to post Share on other sites
coldcat 0 Posted November 21, 2006 Share Posted November 21, 2006 From what I know, Malaria is not a disease that Japanese mosquitoes transmit. There's an encephalitis that they do transmit though, but fortunately, it's quite rare. By the way, what does it have to do with this topic? If it was a joke, I didn't get it.

"Technically speaking", last year was not a "very early" start for Hakuba at least. Dec 3 is about average for the last few years. What was exceptional was how much snow fell in three weeks in December. It was like half a season of snow in one go. I was in Nagano City yesterday and it was wet, but very mild. You didn't need a coat. Link to post Share on other sites

Chill brah, Are you serious? since when does anything stay on topic? It has everything to do with this topic anyway. It seemed that the squito's were gone, but since it's warmed up again I've been noticing them all over the damn place. How long does it take to show symptoms of Malaria anyway?

soubriquet 0 Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Last year was late starting here too, but certainly delivered quantity when it came. The snow level here is down to about 800 metres, so an early season is on. Today was magic, I was outside in shirtsleeves putting up snow protection. According to the forecast, tomorrow I`m going to be working in high winds and snow. I could use another week of fine weather. Link to post Share on other sites

soubriquet 0 Posted November 26, 2006 Share Posted November 26, 2006 We had a clear night last night, and this morning a thick mist, a hard frost and a warm soubriquette to cuddle. Lovely. This is from last year. Link to post Share on other sites
