Two big snowstorms dropped a tonne of snow over Japanese resorts from late Saturday through Tuesday. Just so you get an idea of the quantities we’re dealing with here in Japan, here’s a few accumulation totals for the two storms: 122cm for Myoko, 85cm for Madarao, 89cm for Geto, 96cm for Kiroro, and 76cm for Niseko.
This week will be rather different. The main event will be a Pacific low, which is set to ravage central Honshu this weekend and possibly Monday. It’ll come down heavy and will be wet and slushy down low, but snow accumulations could be large up higher, especially on the Pacific side. For Hokkaido and northern Honshu, it’ll either be light snow showers or sunshine, so accumulations will merely be a shadow of last week’s.
