Not true. The most exstensive theatres of operations for WWII submarines were Indochina, the Mid-Pacific, and the South China Sea. The Kuril Islands and Alaskan theatres to which you refer were only held sparse operations and generally in '42-'43.
Furthermore, the pictures you are citing are (1) from an abnormally active winter and (2) shows snowfall not in excess of 15 centimeters. Also, do remember that Japan is not flat, and unless one is conducting torpedo engagements on the slopes of Mount Fuji, he is not going to see the type of snowfall you are seeing, especially in your fourth picture.
