Koyuki: It gets cold and the rain turns to snow
Quoted from the National Astronomical Observatory website
In Niseko, Hokkaido, snow is gradually falling from Mt. Yotei, and the number of days when the town is covered in white snow is increasing. From now on, the snow will continue to fall and melt, and eventually it will become a permanent snow cover.
Snow cover... Snow that starts falling from late autumn to early winter remains on the ground and does not melt until the snow melts in the spring.
