Japan Has Warmest Winter Ever, No Snow in Tokyo
http://www.planetark.org/dailynewsstory.cfm/newsid/40667/story.htm

TOKYO - Japan has had the warmest winter ever and central Tokyo has seen no snow so far -- the first time since records began, the official weather forecaster said on Friday.


"We have never seen a year without snow in the central Tokyo area. We started taking snow records in 1877," an official with Japan's Meteorological Agency said. "If central Tokyo does not see snow before long, it will be for the first time since then."

The agency said nationwide average temperatures for the three months from December 2006 to February 2007 matched the previous highs in the December 1948-February 1949 period. It started recording nationwide average temperatures in 1899.
