Traffic built up on the stalled highway; at its peak on Thursday night, the jam stretched to 15 kilometers (about 9.3 miles), NEXCO told CNN. Some segments of the long traffic line were able to move slowly with starts and stops, but some motorists remained stuck in place for more than 40 hours.

"The snow was extremely heavy. As time went by, the cars got buried. I was really scared," one unnamed driver told Japanese public broadcaster NHK. "I've eaten all of my food and drinks. Now, to drink water, I have to melt snow I collect in a plastic bottle."

TIL It snows in Japan

Where I live it only snows one day a year at most if it does (and very little), whereas up north you get a lot of snow every winter and of course Okinawa never gets snow. Japan is about the size of California in terms of total landmass, but it is a long narrow chain of islands so the climate differs quite a bit between regions.
