- NHK news - Japan braces for 2nd round of cold
Dec. 12, 2014 -
Japan is bracing itself for another round of cold weather that could bring heavy snow to a wide area.
The Meteorological Agency says a very cold air mass is coming down over Japan. It's predicted to stay from Friday evening through the weekend.
The agency warns that the Japan Sea side of northern to western Japan may have heavy snow. It also warns of snow in mountainous areas along the Pacific side of the country.
Last weekend, a cold air mass brought earlier-than-usual heavy snow to a wide area. Some parts of Japan were paralyzed by interruptions in electricity and stranding of cars and trains.
Tokushima, a comparatively warm prefecture on the western island of Shikoku, was largely affected by the unexpected snow. More than 800 households in mountainous areas were isolated for several days.
Residents are now getting ready for further heavy snow by stocking up on necessities, including deicing agents for roads.
The Meteorological Agency says that in the northern island of Hokkaido gusts of wind of more than 120 kilometers an hour will be accompanied by snow from early Friday.

Cold mass is bringing heavy snow to parts of Japan
Dec. 15, 2014 - Updated 06:07 UTC+9
Japan's Meteorological Agency says a strong cold air mass is bringing heavy snow to parts of the Japan Sea Coast and mountainous areas.
Mountainous regions in Niigata and Nagano Prefectures have had snowfall of up to one meter in 24 hours. Snow has also covered some plains on the Pacific Coast in central Japan.
Tokyo registered its first snow of the season when sleet fell on Sunday evening. It is the second-earliest snowfall in the capital in a decade, 20 days earlier than the average year and six days earlier than last year.
The cold mass will bring more snow to some parts of western Japan through Monday morning and to northern Japan, mostly in mountainous regions, until around noon as it gradually moves east.
The agency is warning against traffic disruptions, heavy snow on power cables and trees, lightning and gusty winds.
The agency is also asking people in heavy snow regions to watch out for avalanches and snow falling from roofs.

Also in Ishikawa Prefecture, dozens of stranded travelers spent the night in trains at a station.
Service on part of the Yamagata Shinkansen line was temporarily suspended due to downed power lines.

Snowstorm hits northern Japan
Dec. 17, 2014 - Updated 15:39 UTC+9
A strong snowstorm is hitting northern Japan and other areas on Wednesday, paralyzing road and air traffic.
The country's meteorological agency says 2 low-pressure systems as strong as a typhoon off the northern island of Hokkaido are bringing the snow and gusts to the island and northeastern Japan.
Gusts exceeded 130 kilometers per hour at Erimo Point in southern Hokkaido. Around 70 centimeters of snow has fallen in the eastern part of the island in the past 24 hours.
The storm cancelled more than 420 flights in and out of the region. Several thousand households lost electricity. Around 1,100 schools were closed in northern and eastern Hokkaido.
The storm also caused high tides, flooding residential areas in Hokkaido's coastal city of Nemuro.
In the northeastern part of Japan's main island Honshu, a branch line of Shinkansen bullet trains halted operations.
The storm brought many cities in western Japan their first snow of the year, though the amount was small.
The weather agency says the lows will soon combine into a storm system with a strength seen only every several years. It's warning people, especially in Hokkaido, to stay indoors.
It adds that up to 1 more meter of snow is likely by noon on Thursday in areas on Honshu's Japan Sea coast and mountainous regions.
(It was the first time we have seen a town under water in winter snow . . .!)
