Japan is experiencing record-breaking snowfall, which has resulted in 30 fatalities over the past two weeks. Among the deceased is a 91-year-old woman who was found beneath 300cm (118 inches) of snow outside her residence.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi has ordered the deployment of military personnel to assist regions most affected by the heavy snowfall. Authorities have advised residents to remain vigilant for possible avalanches and falling snow from rooftops. Additionally, power outages may occur in severely impacted areas.

As of Tuesday, the city of Aomori recorded a snow accumulation of 175cm (approximately 69 inches), more than twice the average for this period. Aomori experienced a historical peak of 183cm (72 inches) on Monday, surpassing the previous 40-year record of 181cm (71 inches) set in 1986. Other cities have reported snow levels exceeding 135cm (53 inches).

From January 20 through Tuesday, 30 individuals have lost their lives due to the snowfall, as reported by the Fire and Disaster Management Agency. A total of 290 individuals have sustained injuries, some of which are severe.

In Niigata prefecture, 12 fatalities have been reported, with additional deaths occurring in the prefectures of Akita, Hokkaido, and Aomori. Incidents include individuals being swept away during snow removal and fatal falls from roofs.

The Japan Meteorological Agency has noted that some regions are experiencing snowfall volumes more than double the norm, attributed to a cold air mass from the Arctic over the Japanese archipelago.

The impact of the severe weather on the upcoming parliamentary elections scheduled for Sunday remains uncertain. The Prime Minister has convened a special cabinet meeting to ensure all possible measures are taken to prevent further casualties and accidents.
