"WeatherJapan stays in a very active winter pattern through early next week, with the most reliable snow from Thu night (02/05) through Mon (02/09) and frequent refreshes in Hokkaido. Snow levels sit at or near sea level for much of the period in Hokkaido, and that keeps precipitation as snow even down low while temperatures hold well below freezing. Snow quality should improve as colder air settles in, with SLRs often rising into the 16-19:1 range later in the weekend."
"A small opener Tue night (02/03)-Wed (02/04) kicks things off in western Hokkaido, then a broader push arrives Thu night (02/05)-Sat (02/07) with colder air and stronger winds. Snow levels generally hover around 0 to 100 meters in Hokkaido during this stretch, so precipitation stays all snow, and temperatures run cold enough for consistent preservation. SLRs start in the low teens during the first part of the Hokkaido storm, then trend higher into the mid to upper teens,"
Japan remains in an active winter pattern through early next week with the most reliable snow Thu night (02/05) through Mon (02/09) and frequent refreshes in Hokkaido. Snow levels sit at or near sea level in Hokkaido, keeping precipitation as snow down low while temperatures stay well below freezing. SLRs should rise into the 16-19:1 range later in the weekend, improving snow quality. A stronger storm will affect the Sea of Japan side of Honshu from Fri (02/06) into Mon (02/09), with the heaviest push Sunday night and rapidly falling snow levels. Winds will be disruptive at times and late-week storm timing and totals remain uncertain.
