Severe snowfall and blizzard conditions have affected Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido over the past three days due to an intensifying low-pressure system. Heavy snow accumulation and strong winds led to major disruptions in air, rail, and road transport, as well as localized power outages. Authorities issued repeated weather warnings, urged residents to limit travel, and mobilized emergency and snow removal services. The prolonged winter storm significantly disrupted daily life across the region and became one of the most intense snow events of the current season. #japan #hokkaido #snow #snowstorm #blizzard
