Today (24), the Sapporo District Meteorological Observatory announced the outlook for next month. In the next month, the Siberian high pressure in the west and the Aleushan low pressure in the east are expected to be stronger than normal when viewed from Hokkaido, so it is easy for the pressure distribution to be of type wintry with high west and low east, and it will be easy to strengthen. Therefore, Hokkaido is easily affected by cold air. Especially after Tuesday 29, quite strong cold air is expected to enter even in the dead of winter, which can only be entered several times a year.
As a result, it will not only be colder on all roads, but it will also be easier for snow to fall, especially on the Sea of Japan side. As the downhill road and the wind get stronger, there is a risk of traffic obstruction due to rags and heavy snow.

Also, on the Sea of Okhotsk side, it looks like there will be occasional snowy days as usual, but on the Pacific side, more sunny days are expected than in normal years, and less snow is likely.
Week 3 to 4 (Jan 9-22) There are still many snow days on the Sea of Japan side
After the third week, the peak of cold air intensification will pass, but the winter-type pressure distribution will remain stronger than normal. As a result, weather trends haven’t changed much, and while there are plenty of sunny days on the Pacific side, it is easier for snow to fall on the Sea of Japan side.
In the second half of January, the peak of snow and cold of the year will gradually approach. This month, there was a point where the snowfall record was set in December, but it is very likely that snowfall will increase further in the next month, and the impact on traffic may be greater. ..
