A powerful low-pressure system is unleashing record-breaking snowfall along Hokkaido's Pacific coast, with the city of Obihiro accumulating more than 1 meter of snow in just 12 hours through Tuesday.

Heavy snowfall has persisted since Monday night, with Obihiro recording 120 centimeters in the 12 hours through noon on Tuesday, the highest on record for the city. Snow depth in the city has now surpassed 120 centimeters, a level last seen in 1972, according to private weather forecaster Weathernews.

While the cold front's impact is most pronounced in the northern regions along the Sea of Japan, the cold air mass is also pushing westward, spreading snow to the Kyushu region facing the East China Sea and the Shikoku region facing the Seto Inland Sea.

In some parts of Kyushu, temperatures have dropped below minus 12 degrees Celsius, according to Weathernews. Kagoshima Prefecture is experiencing steady snowfall, with accumulations visible on grassy surfaces in the city center. Mountainous areas have seen roads turn completely white.


While occasional breaks in the snowfall may allow sunlight to filter through, the cold air mass is expected to fluctuate in intensity and persist until the weekend.

The Meteorological Agency is forecasting heavy snow for Hokkaido and the Tohoku and Hokuriku regions later this week.

In the 24 hours through 6 a.m. Wednesday, these regions are expected to receive significant snowfall, with Hokuriku seeing up to 100 cm, Gifu Prefecture 80 cm, and Tohoku 70 cm. The Kinki region is projected to receive 60 cm, while Hokkaido and the Chugoku region are expected to get 50 cm. Meanwhile, Shikoku and northern Kyushu may see up to 30 cm of snow.

Further accumulations are anticipated in the 24 hours through 6 a.m. Thursday, with Tohoku and Hokuriku each receiving another 100 cm. Gifu is projected to get an additional 70 cm, while Hokkaido and the regions of Kinki and Chugoku could see 50 cm more. Shikoku and northern Kyushu are expected to have an additional 40 cm of snowfall accumulate.

The transport ministry has advised the public to stay updated on weather conditions and prepare for potential travel delays or cancelations as widespread highway closures are possible. The ministry also urged people to avoid nonessential and nonurgent outings.

For those who must drive, the ministry strongly recommends equipping vehicles with winter tires, carrying snow chains and keeping shovels and sand in the vehicle for emergencies.

Nexco Central announced Tuesday that the Hokuriku and Maizuru-Wakasa expressways may face closures Tuesday afternoon as a precautionary measure against the heavy snow.

All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines have said that they are canceling 34 and 29 domestic flights, respectively, on Tuesday, affecting approximately 5,800 people.

Bad weather continued to hit Sicily on Sunday. Incredible accumulation of hail in the municipality of San Giovanni La Punta in Catania, Sicily. Several cars were left stranded on the streets after bad weather hit on Sunday.
In the region of Messina and in the village of Zafferia, the Zafferia river, which overflowed due to the storm that hit the area, washed away mud and debris.
San Giovanni La Punta (CT), the situation in via Fisichelli due to heavy rain. Curiously, after this morning's hailstorm, 30 cm high chunks of ice fell, probably from the mountains or from rainwater from the neighbouring villages of Trecastagni and Pedara. A Carabinieri mobile radio to ensure the safety of citizens.

More on the remarkable heavy snowfall of late in Japan -

Japan leads the world in snow depths with 6 meters (20 feet) base at Polkus

Hakuba Happo One, Japan: 5th February 2025.
Hakuba Happo One, Japan: 5th February 2025.

JAPAN REPORT

Japan continues to top the world's snow depth tables after more huge snowfalls over the past week, with reports of up to 1 metre (40") of snowfall in 24 hours. Niigata continues to post the country's deepest snowpacks—which are about double the most that's lying anywhere else in the world. At Arai Ski Area, near the ski town of Myoko, there is a base depth of 610cm (over 20 feet), with Charmant Hiuchi Ski Area near Itoigawa City coming in second with a 560cm base. Ski areas in Nagano, host of the 1998 Winter Olympics, are also experiencing substantial snow depths, with the renowned resort of Happo-One in the Hakuba Valley boasting 5.5 meters.

The 6m/20 feet Polkus base is believed to be the deepest recorded base worldwide in several years. Japan's ski areas have been experiencing remarkable snowfalls over the past few months.

While much coverage has been given to the northern island of Hokkaido, known for ski areas like Niseko (145/250cm / 58/140"), which currently has every run open, the deepest snow depths are actually being observed in Niigata Prefecture, north of Tokyo on the Japanese mainland.

This region is benefiting from a weather phenomenon known as the Siberian Express, where dry air blowing east across central and eastern Asia hits the Sea of Japan, then rises and releases abundant snowfall upon encountering Japan's mountainous coastline.

Got 2 snowstorms in a row in Quebec Province (one is ongoing at this precise moment, expecting 25-35cm).
Here are 2 pictures from Montreal. In my backyard, the snow comes up to mid-window. In the front, what I circled in red is a pile of snow from street plowing and neighbors cleaning their car entrance. It's as high as a car and about 10 meters long (it goes longer than the picture; I could not get the right angle without going to the sidewalk). There are many more all along the street.

We did not get 25-35 cm as I said in my previous post, we received 72 cm.
Ontario, Quebec and all of Eastern Canada that was affected.
There have been several major accidents on the roads, including pile-ups involving heavy goods vehicles.

Montreal's historic snowfall nearly ties this 127-year record - The Weather Network

Heavy snow battered southern Quebec this past weekend, with Montreal racking up an impressive amount in just four days.

French: Neige record à Montréal : une première en 125 ans - MétéoMédia

Heavy snow battered southern Quebec this past weekend, with Montreal racking up an impressive amount in just four days.
72.4 cm of snow fell on Montreal between February 13 and 16: 34 cm on February 13 + 36.8 cm on February 16.
The only other time on record was between January 19 and 22 1898! Back then, the same amount of snow fell – 72.4 cm.

Some Montrealers will undoubtedly remember the historic storm of March 3 and 4, 1971 – still referred to as the “storm of the century.” That blizzard dropped 47 cm of snow in under 24 hours. Powerful winds created blizzard conditions for 11 hours.


As for the snow removal, it's total chaos...
Snow update - Redacted by the colleague district mayor of Rosemont Petite Patrie:

Since last Thursday, Montreal has received 74 cm of snow. For comparison, the famous "storm of the century" of 1971 saw 43 cm of snow fall. Added to this 74 cm is the snow from the roofs that the wind pushed onto the sidewalks and streets.
This is an exceptional situation, and it is putting a strain on our equipment. In many places, the snow plows and small sidewalk tractors can no longer get through, since they cannot push the snow to the sides and therefore remain stuck. The same goes for the bike lanes.
On the streets, the last 24 hours have been spent making frequent passes on the arterial network to maintain the necessary width for emergency vehicles to pass.
This morning, the sidewalk teams will try to regain control, but our public works people inform us that the operation offers no guarantee of success. In places, there is simply too much snow to push it.
In these conditions, the only solution is to load, and quickly. We are therefore resuming loading operations this morning, in the hope of removing the snow and regaining control of the sidewalks, bike paths, and landing stages, as soon as possible.
In these exceptional circumstances, we obviously ask you to show tolerance and patience, and above all to respect the signs so as not to slow down the teams. A huge thank you to our blue-collar workers and private teams who have been mobilized day and night for several days already.

A video I took after the storm, showing much more snow than my previous pictures:
Sorry for the foul language in Quebec French 😅 (barely audible)

Parts of eastern, Atlantic Canada clean up after back-to-back storms
People in the eastern half of Canada are digging out after another monster storm dumped huge amounts of snow for the second time in recent days, with parts of Quebec walloped the hardest. The snow also severely affected Atlantic Canada, causing hazardous travel conditions and power outages

Another of their videos mentions:
Meanwhile, parts of the Prairies are under extreme cold warnings with wind chill values around –40 C expected.
 
East TN, 4 days of non-stop rain, 4 feet of extra water in both our ponds.

What you are looking at is a birdhouse 1.5ft tall that sits on 4 ft post normally on dry ground. Bushes behind are also off the water line. Nevertheless our ducks love it :-)

Oh yeah, more water from the sky is on the way. Snow is coming tomorrow.

Heavy snowfall keeps on dumping in Japan -

Deepest snow in Japan passes 7 meters (23 feet)

nnnnnnn
The deepest snow stat being reported from Japan has now passed 7 metres (23 feet), the deepest reported by a ski area anywhere in the world for several years.

Tengendai Kogen Ski Area near Yonezawa City in Yamagata prefecture is posting the world's deepest snow at 7.2m (nearly 24 feet). At least seven more ski areas in Aomori, Gunma, Nagano and Niigata are reporting 6m/20 feet+ bases.

Japan's seriously snowy winter 24-25, with heavy snowfall continuing this week, is thought to be in part thanks to this winter's El Niño - Southern Oscillation (ENSO) climate system in the Pacific.

Things started well with Niseko having the best December in 68 years. Hakuba, one of the regions posting a 6m+ base at its Happo One ski area, has had absolutely phenomenal snowfall all winter.
