Japan battered by winter storm

#1 Postby Anonymous » Sat Feb 05, 2005 11:28 am

Jan 31 - Honshu hardest hit, but Kyushu and Hokkaido also saw snow. Toyana and Tottori airports were both reporting blizzard conditions. Up to 90cm (3 feet) of snow was predicted for the mountainous areas in the north. Snow also fell on the southern Japanese island of Shikoku, which hardly ever sees snow, while the city of Kochi received the first snow in nearly 20 years.
In the United Stares, another winter storm left up to two feet of snow in southern Colorado before heading south towards Texas. To the east, Georgia is slowly recovering from its weekend ice storm.
