It looks like Tokyo dodged a weather bullet as a cold snap didn't dump as much snow as originally forecast. It still caused the cancellation of flights to and from Tokyo.
Japan Today reported:
TOKYO - A cold snap hit Tokyo and vicinity Saturday, causing cancellations of more than 100 flights to and from the Japanese capital despite lower-than-expected snow totals.
One centimeter of snow was observed as of noon in downtown Tokyo where temperatures fell below zero due to a cold air mass. The weather agency initially forecast an up to 5-cm snowfall but later said heavy snow was not expected in Tokyo and its adjacent prefectures of Kanagawa and Saitama.
But the Japan Meteorological Agency still warned about icy road conditions as low temperatures will continue at least through Sunday morning.
Japan Airlines Co and All Nippon Airways Co canceled more than 100 flights as of noon Saturday into and out of Haneda and Narita airports servicing Tokyo.To read more, go here.
