Japanese authorities warned Tokyo residents to stay indoors as a severe snow storm hit the capital

Local media has reported that at least 43 people have been injured because of snow-related accidents, with as much as 1.6 in of snow recorded on Saturday morning in Tokyo.

Weather forecasters have warned that with a rapidly developing low pressure front heading towards eastern Japan, more snow can be expected.
