Coming from Canada, and Fukui, I read this news and shake my head.
All I can say is, "This. is. insane... " *************************** Over 60 injured in snow-related accidents in Tokyo, vicinity
Tuesday 15th February, 12:32 PM JST TOKYO —
More than 60 people have sustained injuries including broken bones in
Tokyo and its vicinity since Monday night, when a relatively heavy
snowfall blanketed the metropolitan area, authorities said Tuesday. The snow also led to delays and cancellations of JR trains in the
metropolitan area including those on the Sobu Line, affecting more
than 100,000 passengers, the operator said. Some outbound JR
Shinkansen bullet trains were also delayed. The number of people wounded came to at least 43 in Tokyo and 21 in
Saitama Prefecture, firefighters and government officials said, noting
many sustained injuries after slipping and falling. Downtown Tokyo had 1 centimeter of snow as of 5 a.m. while Yokohama
had 2 cm, the Japan Meteorological Agency said. As much as 25 cm fell
at Lake Kawaguchi in Yamanashi Prefecture, southwest of Tokyo. Read the comments here:
