Kanto area was got damage by heavy snowfall last weekend. I've just read the news about this heavy snow has caused many people deaths.
We often used Chuo-high way and Route 19. And these roads, which run Nagoya to Nagano, were closed because many cars and trucks were stuck in snow. The traffic jam stretched for few kilometers, but it was now OK. ( The Chuo-high is closed now.) I think it’s disaster. I hope these areas are getting better.
