Japan

Snow has accumulated to record depths, in excess of five metres, in the Hakkoda mountain range of Aomori Prefecture in Northern Japan. More snow fell in northern Japan over the weekend, and at least eight people died as people become trapped in their cars and buried underneath the heavy snow. A bullet train travelling from Tokyo to northern Japan also derailed, however no one was injured.

Wikimedians provided pictures of the snow for Wikinews.

Keep an eye out for this storm system to get here to the States. Could be a real bad winter storm moving across the country mid to late next week.
