Bring It On, lol

Its looking biblical on the pressure chart. There's a high chance of travel chaos on the edges of snow country, places where they do not have the crews and equipment seen in snow country itself. If heading to the slopes. stick a sleeping bag in your car and do not let your car go down below half a tank. Leave any electric cars at home.
Note that the 50cm type numbers in the story only refer to the first day of this system.

The usual winter precautions. Drive sensibly, watch your speed, and avoid tailgating. Keep a warm coat, gloves, hat, and blanket in your car, along with plenty of drinks and some emergency food. The walking sleeping bags are great - ugoku-nebukuro. Rope and shovel are handy, and don't take up much space, along with snow chains. Stay safe. Stay warm.

Kohakuebisu - I love your use of the term ‘travel chaos’. Have you been reading UK newspapers by any chance?

Hmmm... I would not say that snow in Shikoku is 'uncommon'. They have high levels of precipitation, and a mountain rage extending 250 kilometers with some fairly high (5-6,000 ft +) mountains there.

Please feel free to send it down here to Okinawa! People are walking around here, dressed up like Eskimos, and the high temp is around 17C, low temp around 11C.
At least with some snow and real cold, I could begin to understand.

120 cm of snow in my wife's hometown in just a 12-hour period. Her parents emailed us pics of the front of their house. Just a wall of snow.

It would be informative to have a understanding of the Sea of Japan coast.
