Heavy snow in northern Japan CAN be good.

I dont think scientists know why yet, but for whatever reason some have identified a correlation where if they get a big snow in northern Japan, we often get a big snowfall in the northeast about 7 to 10 days later. I remember reading about it last season and it was very interesting.

Supposedly cold in Europe (like it is now) is a correlation for cold in the Northeast as well. Good signs but in this winter from hell nothing seems to be going our way. Just when I want to give up and ignore it all, things like this drag me back into it again.

Well unless the winds aloft over the North Pacific change pretty quick I wouldn't hold my breath. for a weather change here. I have trip planned early march to ski in Japan and have been following the snowfall this year. This big snow has been the norm all season.
