[Capture News] Japan Covering Snow Cloud of Fear... 'Worse' Another Dangerous Preview

Cars travel cautiously on roads completely covered by snow.

The snow removal car starts snow removal with a snowstorm, but there is no sign of it finishing.

Some local highways have been closed to traffic.

The Japan Meteorological Administration held an emergency press conference and said that the strongest cold wave is flowing through the west coast, and that snow clouds are also developing.

[Hosomi Takuya / Director of the Japan Meteorological Monitoring and Warning Center: Developed thunderstorms are expected to flow into the land, and snow will strengthen and snow will increase in a short period of time.]

In Aomori Prefecture, where heavy snowfall continues, there have also been a series of casualties, including deaths during snow removal.

Snowfall in large parts of the west coast is expected to exceed 1m for 72 hours until the weekend, and the Korea Meteorological Administration explained that heavy snow warnings could also be issued in the Seoul metropolitan area.

Along with the suspension of trains and subways, we cannot rule out the isolation of vehicles on the road.

The Japanese government held an emergency meeting with relevant ministries and entered a 24-hour emergency response posture.

[Yoshimasa Hayashi / Japanese Chief Cabinet Secretary: We will do our best to collect information 24 hours a day at the Information Liaison Room installed at the Prime Minister's Office Crisis Management Center.]

The Japanese government has urged local people in the sphere of influence to refrain from going out unnecessarily.

Heavy snow is expected to hit a snag on Saturday.
