Why does it snow in Japan but not Northern California when both places are along the same parallel?
First of all, Japan is a pretty long country from north to south. The northernmost point is on the same parallel as BC, and nearly to the Yukon in Canada. I'm from BC Canada, and I can assure you that it snows here.
California is also a fairly large place. You can see snow in places like Redding.
Japan also has a mountainous landscape. Mountains create what is called a 'rain shadow' where clouds get caught in the mountains and dump plenty of precipitation on the windward (upwind) side, and almost none of the leeward (downwind) side of the mountains. Due to the high altitude, close to the mountain itself you often get snow, as opposed to rain.
