Extreme snowfall continues in Aomori Prefecture in northeastern Japan, with record snow depths reaching around 183 centimeters. Snowfall totals are several times higher than normal, creating serious risks of building collapses and placing heavy strain on infrastructure. The severe weather has caused widespread transportation disruptions, road closures, train cancellations, and the deployment of Japan’s Self-Defense Forces for snow removal. More than 90 people have been injured, mostly while clearing snow, while schools, businesses, and agriculture face major disruptions. Forecasters warn that snowfall will continue, temperatures will remain low, and the risk of avalanches will stay elevated in the coming days.
