scottmartin49 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Record cold throughout east Asia is quite a story- and related to the snow in Japan- but excessive snowfall in western Honshu and Hokkaido is not unusual. It is the oceanic equivalent of our own 'lake effect'. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snow_country_(Japan) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
