Severe winter weather in Japan: five deaths

Due to the harsh winter weather of the past few days, five people have died in Japan.

Another man died when he fell from the roof while he was snow-clearing. The winter will still keep Japan in its grip for the time being: there will be a new cold front with even more snow. This will again cause problems for, among other things, traffic. In the past week, 1500 cars were stuck in the snow.
