Kanto area snow storm on Feb 11-12 2011

Diverted from ITM to KIX? Is the weather that bad in ITM? Maybe the snow storm is moving slowly to Kanto area and therefore they added an extra day to the warning

Let's see if your return flight will be affected.

It wasn't a weather delay but rather an incoming flight delayed type thing (unless I was making it all up in my head -that happens sometimes too)

ITM has a strict landing curfew at 9pm....any flight landing after 9pm are diverted to UKB or KIX

So that's why the last buses into the city are so early...

It's snowing a bit now in Osaka

Currently expected to snow in the Kanto region starting around 4 or 5 pm, but only 2 mm/h or so in Tokyo; most of the snowfall will be up in Gunma. NRT is supposed to only get rain...

It seems to be getting heavier here. It melts when it hits the ground though.
I think behind Mt.Rokko there'll be lots piled up!

It's melting here also in Osaka city as soon as it hits the ground.

It's like this now after about 2 hours of snowing

That's weak compared to this

Probably 10 minutes of snowing in that pic is enough to make it like it is here!

Latest Weathernews forecast says snow in Tokyo starting around 9 PM, depending on how quickly the air chills down. Looking out my window in Nihonbashi and it is still dry as a bone, though pretty cloudy.

But the worst time probably has passed right?

Here in Osaka you mean? No the snow is still pretty heavy. The roofs of houses around our office are white already.

I meant the winter storm that JAL warned us about

JL001 on Feb 14 is affected by the snow storm

About 2-3 cm on the ground around Shinjuku this morning... enough to make it a pain to walk to work. But it's sunny in Tokyo today, with a temperature well above freezing, so it should be melted off before long.

Is that what you consider snow?

That was Martian snow

Does it ever get below freezing in Sendai at all?

Welcome to JAL forum, cockpitvisit! I will let sendaiben has his "glory" moment and answer your question

It was -13 a couple of weeks ago (freak cold snap). Normally it hovers around freezing in Jan/Feb

Thanks for the glory, JALPak. You know I need it

I think you need more "likes" too

And yet you didn't like me

You don't need more likes...
