It snowed again last night in Tokyo. It was heavier than the last week's snow and it accumulated to 2 cm from the ground, according to the Met Agancy. Snow piled up on my doffodils and its stem was bent..., however they regained the strength today so I felt relieved.
It was Valentine's Day yesterday. Some of the major trains were stopped last night, and I hope that people who were out for dinner could safely go back home. Trains and flights are back to normal since this morning as it became sunny much earlier than the Met Agency forcasted. It was very cold in the morning due to radiative cooling, but the weather is easing in the afternoon.
The snow stopped the trains? On 2 cm of accumulated snow? The Japanese are famous for the dependability of their train system. Perhaps I have missed something. Till next time.
ReplyDeleteYes, snow could stop the trains in Tokyo. Most trains run for a very long distance and not all parts of the railway is equipped with the measures against snow. The Japanese big cities are very large and many people commute to the city centre from the outskirts so trains are indispensable.
