Exceptionally high snowfall has drowned Aomori City under 178 centimeters of snow, causing an influx of calls to local consultation services. Citizens are focused on dealing with the immediate consequences of the heavy snowfall, and emergency services are working tirelessly to manage the situation. Residents are advised to stay indoors and to contact their local services if they are facing any trouble.

In Japan, heavy snowfall is quite common during the winter months in certain regions. However, such exceptional levels of snowfall can disrupt daily life significantly, particularly in cities not as well-equipped to manage it. Japanese society highly values solidarity and community assistance during times of hardship, and it is common for local authorities and communities to work together to deal with such extreme weather conditions.

In areas of the U.S and EU where extreme snowfall is common, such as in the northeastern U.S, or Scandinavia, cities typically have highly effective snow clearing systems in place. However, in places where heavy snowfall is infrequent, similar disruptions can be experienced. The focus is often on maintaining essential services and ensuring the safety of the public, similar to the approach in Aomori City.
