January 5th quick forecast graphic

---

Decent snow fell across parts of Hokkaido with Akaigawa picking up 20-30cm of new powder. Watch for heavy snow showers possible today especially around Kiroro and into Niseko. Temperatures will be cold and hold steady before dropping off in the afternoon; the cold temperatures and brisk winds will make it feel quite a bit colder than it is. White out conditions could occur in the heaviest snow showers at high elevations where the winds will be the strongest.
