Japan warns of avalanches, icy roads ahead of more snow

This photo taken on January 31, 2025 shows snow covering the top of a "torii", or gate at a shrine in the ski resort town of Hakuba, Nagano prefecture. Residents of northern Japan were sheltering from deep snow up to the rooftops in some areas on February 20 after a two-week whiteout. Several cities have seen record snowfall in February, causing traffic disruption and several fatalities.
