Chako: Hey Log, it seems like this cold wave is really strong! I heard we’re expecting heavy snowfall.
Log: Yeah, especially on the Sea of Japan side, they’re predicting snowstorm-level snow, so we need to be careful about traffic disruptions.
Chako: If it snows a lot, do you think schools will close?
Log: That could definitely happen. If the blizzard continues, going outside could be dangerous.
Navi: Given the high likelihood of traffic disruptions, early preparations are necessary.
Chako: I see! We need to get ready for it, too!

Admin’s Note

This cold wave is particularly strong, and the possibility of traffic disruptions is high, so it’s important to prepare in advance. As Chako mentioned, there may also be school closures, so we need to prioritize the safety of our children. Natural disasters are hard to predict, so it’s crucial to stay aware of the need for preparedness. Everyone should take measures within a reasonable scope to ensure their safety.
