1. Snowscape Archive: Snow is rare in Yokohama in March, but...
• Average Snow Accumulation: Yokohama's average and maximum snow depths for March are both recorded at 0 cm, indicating that snow doesn't usually accumulate.
• Past Cases: However, as an exception, on March 21, 2018, 1 cm of snow was observed in Yokohama for the first time in 30 years since late March. One blog also mentions snowfall on March 29, 2020.

As such, snow in March is extremely rare, and photographs and recollections capturing that moment make for an invaluable archive.
