Kon’nichiwa, Yoi otoshi o omukae kudasai. Hello and Happy New Year!
It’s been a while, but I’ve now awoken from an extended hibernation to bring you weekly snowlights and weatherlights for the Japanese snow season.And what a time to awaken, because this week’s forecast is simple – lots of powder!
That archetypical Japow Machine will crank this week with freezing W-NW winds dropping high quality blower powder over Honshu and Hokkaido almost every day. The heaviest falls will be over resorts in central Honshu, especially today into Saturday where around 50-70cm should accumulate, while consistent light falls over the western half of Hokkaido should see 10-20cm accumulate there.
