Today, the 8th, Coming of Age Day, the winter-like atmospheric pressure pattern is strengthening. There are many places on the Sea of Japan side where snow and winds are strong, and snow clouds are also flowing into some parts on the Pacific side. The first snow was observed in Kyoto and Tsu.
Kyoto’s first snow is 28 days later than normal and 20 days later than last season.
Tsu’s first snow is 15 days later than normal and 21 days later than last season.
Also, in the Kanto region, there was heavy snow along the mountains of Gunma, and the Maebashi Local Meteorological Observatory observed the “first snow cap” on Mt. Haruna. The first snowfall will be 30 days later than normal and 15 days later than last season.
It’s still snowing on the Sea of Japan side in the afternoon. Be careful of avalanches, falling snow, and accidents during snow removal.
Although the winter-like atmospheric pressure will gradually ease in the afternoon of today, the 8th, Coming of Age Day, it will snow intermittently along the Sea of Japan side of northern Japan and along the mountains of Kanto-Koshin. As of 11 a.m., there are places in northern Gunma Prefecture under a “heavy snow warning.”
The snow on the Sea of Japan side will temporarily weaken by late tonight, but tomorrow, the 9th, there will be some areas in northern Japan where the snow will become heavier again.
In areas where snowfall is increasing, please be careful of avalanches, snow falling from roofs, frozen roads, and accidents while removing snow.
Precautions when removing snow
You want to remove snow that has accumulated on your roof as soon as possible. There are three things to keep in mind when removing snow safely:
(1)Before removing snow, be sure to check that the snow is not loose. Fresh snow or a warm, sunny afternoon can especially loosen the snow on your roof. Icicles may also fall with the snow.
(2) If you use a ladder to climb onto the roof, be sure to securely secure the ladder with ropes to prevent it from moving. When moving from the ladder to the roof, extra care must be taken to avoid falling.
(3) When removing snow, leave the snow around the building. In the unlikely event that you fall off the roof, the snow will act as a cushion. Even if it’s a hassle, be sure to wear a lifeline and helmet, and wear non-slip shoes. Don’t forget to bring your cell phone with you when working.
