Update: Snow Increasing in coverage and intensity overnight

A low pressure system is spinning off the SE coast of Hokkaido currently, bringing with it snow potentially quite heavy. Down to the south towards Mori and Onuma they have picked up in excess of 20cm with much of it falling it this evening. The high resolution models are putting out some pretty impressive numbers and while I think it is overdoing the totals, I would not be surprised to see some decent totals. I will have a full forecast in the morning, but I will leave you with this pretty crazy snowfall map from our in-house high resolution model (yes it is saying +40cm).
