Tokyo records first snowless winter
Kyodo News
The Tokyo metropolitan area has experienced its first winter without snow since 1876, the Meteorological Agency said Thursday.
The agency’s observatory in Otemachi did not detect any snowfall from December to February, the period defined as winter in Japan.
While Tokyo is more inclined to get heavy snow in early spring than midwinter, it is not certain to see snow in March or later because temperatures are expected to remain unseasonably high, the agency said.

Hey man, LA got more snow this year than Tokyo!
Someone told us that Niigata actually gets more snow than Akita due to some weather pattern thing.

Hi Guys,
We’re back, and glad to be so.
Yep, global warming is upon us. We got 2 inches of rain this year in L.A.
I think we ought to move to Vancouver or something, but not just yet.
Hope all is going well with you guys, and that you continue to enjoy your
time abroad.
All Quite on the Western Front.
Call when you get a yearn.

But we did get snow – in April!! I was wolking to the bathroom at work when all of sudden this guy started going “Yuki! Yuki da yo! Mite!” (Snow! It’s snow! Look!)
didn’t stick or anything, but it was definitely snow….
