Snowfall is the 3-winter average from the ERA5 reanalysis, and the model runs low on mountain snow, by different amounts in different regions (the regional map on the Japan page adds that difference back; the figures on this page do not). Read the ranks and the comparisons rather than the centimetres. The month-by-month pattern uses the last 10–11 winters; rain days, snow-day temperature and 5 cm days use the last three.
