Not as much snow as Europe but colder than Europe. The cold and snow for Jan. 2019 doesn't appear to be a local or regional event. It's a hemisphere-wide event.
Meanwhile in Japan:
Two troubled skiers from Hong Kong were rescued at a popular Japanese ski destination after taking shelter against the elements overnight in a snow hole they made for themselves when an expedition went wrong

The men, aged 45 and 57, left their inn in Mount Tokachi, in Kamifurano, central Hokkaido for the ski trip on Saturday.

But they had failed to return by dinner time and the inn staff called police at about 11pm, Japanese media reported.

A search was launched.

They were located at an altitude of 1,866 metres at 7.40am on Sunday.



They were conscious and uninjured, although one of them appeared to be debilitated, and was taken by helicopter to safety.

According to media reports, the men posted their location to friends on social media on Saturday afternoon, helping rescuers narrow down the search area.
