Record snowfall has buried northern Japan, killing 30 people since Jan 20 and injuring more than 100. In Aomori, soldiers are helping clear rooftops and assist elderly residents as local crews struggle to cope. In Sapporo, around 1,000 snow ploughs were needed to clear the roads. Officials say the extreme conditions mark one of Japan’s heaviest snowfalls in decades. #japan #japannews
