Surely it will snow again this season, I'm not disputing that. Hell, it should - it's mid February! The 40cm you so proudly mention sure as hell didn't hit the top of my car. It should be puking down to village a few times a week.
If you re-read what I said (and what you quoted me saying), 'Unfortunately, most of Honshu isn't going to get any sustained peak season conditions.'
