When heavy snow falls

In Japan, it can snow from January to February.
When there is heavy snowfall, the snow piles up on the roads and the roads freeze, making them slippery.
It's very dangerous.
It is very dangerous to go out when there is heavy snow, so please stay home as much as possible.
On days with heavy snow, you may not be able to buy food.
Always have food and drinks in your home.
It is also useful to have a flashlight and a portable radio.
To prevent carbon monoxide poisoning, make sure the air intake and exhaust vents of your FF heater aren't blocked by snow.
