Please be careful about heavy snow

From the weekly weather forecast, there was a forecast that there is a risk of heavy snowfall in Tokyo on Thursday, February 10th.
Fortunately, it rained lightly this morning (2/10), but the Meteorological Agency has predicted that there may be enough snow to affect transportation in the evening. ..
The three consecutive holidays are likely to be hit by snow and rain. From now on, it will be called “South Bank Low Pressure” and the pressure distribution will be prone to snow in the area on the Pacific side.
Please be careful when you go out.

In recent years, it is not uncommon to see snow in the Kanto area, but it was February 2014, about eight years ago.
I think many people remember that they were hit by a strong cold wave once every 10 years, and the amount of snowfall was 30 to 80 cm even in the Kanto plains.
This is called “2014 heavy snowfall” or “February 2014 snow damage”.

The deepest snowfall is 114 cm in Kofu, Kofu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and 62 cm in Kumagai, Kumagaya City, Saitama Prefecture. It was a big natural disaster.
Heavy snow often draws attention to “human movements” due to traffic accidents and effects on public transportation such as trains, but it also has a great impact on “movements of things”.
In “2014 heavy snowfall”, trucks for delivering supplies were significantly delayed.
At super convenience stores in the Kofu basin, which is surrounded by mountains, there were conspicuous shelves where products could not be received and nothing was displayed.

Natural disasters can also occur unexpectedly.
There is also a saying, “If you are prepared, you will not be ill.” This heavy snowfall may not be comparable to the “2014 heavy snowfall”.
It may be a good idea to take this opportunity to reconfirm the stored food and disaster prevention set.
