Snow plume craziness ongoing in the Sea of Japan. #TartaryPlume turns in north of Sapporo merges with as yet unnamed Russia massif plume in from W with #YobetsuPlume help. Even Mount Rishiri getting involved. Helical fomations in radar, 10 cm/hr north of Sapporo.

2 Yobetsu Plume time-lapses via drone looking WNW from Hokkaido University lunch and late afternoon today, quite consistent structure, both have mid-level anvils at similar points. Strongest convergence forcing out north of the Shakotan Peninsula. #YobetsuPlume #余別岳プルーム

Over recent weeks huge snow contrast N of Sapporo most persistent Yobetsu Plume activity seen in few years I've been here. 91 cm at Iwamizawa, compression/melt maybe >2 metres fallen. ~36 km NE across flat land from Sapporo where just a dusting #YobetsuPlume #余別岳プルーム

Sapporo city #札幌市 continues to have no snow on the ground, but just north of the city, plenty of snow over the last weeks from the persistent #YobetsuPlume #余別岳プルーム which continued today seen here looking north from Moerenuma Park #モエレ沼公園
