"WeatherJapan stays in a very active pattern with multiple waves of snow from Monday night (01/19) through Thursday (01/29), led by huge accumulations in central Honshu and steady powder production across Hokkaido. The most prolific stretch focuses on midweek into the weekend, when several reloads stack up for major totals at resorts like Nozawa, Gala, and Akakura, while Hokkaido keeps adding frequent lighter-to-moderate bursts that build deep over time at open areas like Niseko, Kiroro, Rusutsu, and Furano."
"Snow levels stay very low most of the window, keeping precipitation predominantly snow, with a modest late-period rise at times that can nudge snow quality denser at lower elevations. Snow quality overall trends solid to excellent, with many periods running in the mid-teens to near 20:1, while winds become a primary wildcard at a few exposed zones, especially early and again during select surges."
