TOKYO (AP) - The Japanese capital got its earliest blanket of snow in a
decade on Monday, snarling air, road and rail travel and causing accidents
that injured more than 200 people.

The last time Tokyo got snow this early was in December 1991, when about
the same amount fell, said agency spokesman Masakazu Tazaki.

Utsunomiya, a city north of Tokyo, got nearly seven inches of snow, the
most there for the month of December since 1912.
