As reported in the Daily Yomuri Newspaper

So I was reading through my numerous past issues of the newspaper, and last Sundays edition there is on the front page (bottom fold) a really cool picture of a couple. They are walking through Tokyo with the imperial palace in the background amid quite a lot of snow. Its quite a picture-esque landscape and a beautiful photograph.

I thought "oh, id like to read this"

First Sentence:

"Central Tokyo experianced the first snowfall
snowfall this season, with one person dead
and at least 160 injured and air and train
services disrupted...authorities said"


Oh awesome. Except the exact opposite.

I think snow kills and injures more people in Japan than any other country I know of.

I don't understand... It's not like it's a freak of nature there...
Ironic that more people die of snow in Japan than in say... Arizona...
