At least one person died in heavy snowfall in parts of Japan. As Japanese television station NHK reported Thursday, the 70-year-old man was found dead under a heavy snow removal device the night before. Apparently, he fell into a river with the device while working. An extremely cold air front has caused massive snowfalls in many parts of the country. The government asked residents to stay home if possible.
