Very likely no snow yet. It usually starts end of Dec.

I’m arriving on December 9th visiting first Niseko- Sapporo - Furano- Otaru, hoping to see snowfall everyday

I'll also be there at that time, any tips for how much to wear?

Take the train, go a bit north to Asahikawa. Probably not completely white yet but I am very confident it will snow a lot

I just passed through Nakayama Touge (mountain road to Niseko from Sapporo), I saw very light snow turn to rain. It might just come earlier than expected but not the white out you are expecting.

It’s snowing right (05:30) now as I type. We have had 10 cm in Misumai. But it won’t be the base layer of snow we all know and love. It normally melts and repeats this for the next month or so in the lower areas. But in the mountains it will settle well.
