Many traffic accidents occurred in many places and caused one death. The visibility was extremely poor. The instantaneous wind speed in some areas reached 120 kilometers per hour, causing the visibility in Hokkaido to be almost zero. The main roads and freeways were closed, many flights and trains were cancelled, and schools were suspended. Global warming also had an impact on the snow in Hokkaido. Research showed that if the global average temperature was 4 degrees Celsius higher than the pre-industrial level, Hokkaido's iconic pink snow might become the same wet snow as in Honshu, Japan. This was because the ice particles in the local atmosphere tended to absorb the surrounding water vapor and grow into crystals with large gaps to form smooth and light snow. However, after warming, the probability of the ice particles being absorbed by water droplets to form ice crystals and graupel (soft hail) increased, eventually forming heavier snow. This would have an impact on tourism and people's lives, and it was also expected to contribute to the prediction of avalanche probability. The snow in Hokkaido also created a unique landscape and culture. In winter, Hokkaido became a fairytale world covered in snow. The Sporporo Snow Festival in the capital of Hokkaido had huge and exquisite snow sculptures; Otaru had romantic canal snow scenery; and Hakodate's beautiful night scene was even more charming against the snow.
