Deep snow in northern Japan – BBC asks -”…is it another result of global warming?”
March 2nd, 2013 by Warwick HughesI thought the BBC would have known without having to ask the question, that warming can produce floods, rain that will not fill dams, deeper snow, more cold, larger hailstones, worse cyclones and storms – anything that IPCC supporters say.

Sigh
I live in northern Japan. In my town average snowfall (back to 1959) is 10 metres, and the snowpack depth around 1.5 metres. This winter, like last, we’ve had more than 16 metres of snow, and the snowpack is around 2.4 metres deep.
The meeja have just discovered that Japan in winter gets a lot of snow. Extraordinary in fact, and this plays very nicely to the alarmists. Heavy snow in Japan comes as no surprise to us who live here.

In my town, late winter looks like this.
This is the road up to Gassan ski-jo. Gassan opens in late spring, once they have opened the road.

Chilly in Calcutta too reports the BBC where “…the cold has become a major talking point in Calcutta, where the temperatures are the lowest for a century.”

Yes Beachgirl, that was the lead on NHK news last night. Northern Hokkaido is bitterly cold in winter with the sea ice solid all the way to Russia. We had a fierce storm here, Hokkaido must have been terrible. In a blizzard it’s very easy to get disoriented/lost/stuck even when you know the area. Then if you’re not properly prepared with fuel and sleeping bags in the car, all bets are off.

Nice to see Hungarians find a use for their sturdy old Soviet era T72 tanks.
