Typical

What is wrong with this bleedin' country? A little bit of snow falls and everything goes to pants. Transport systems fail, and people fall over because they've forgotten that frozen water is slippery. I'll bet they order things better elsewhere:

Snow fell in Tokyo and vicinity from Monday night through early Tuesday morning and covered the capital for the first time this season, causing people to slip and suffer injuries and disrupting rail and road traffic services. 

As of 10 a.m., 53 people had been taken to hospital by ambulance in Tokyo, the Tokyo Fire Department said. 

East Japan Railway Co. temporarily suspended some services on the Hachiko Line linking Hachioji in western Tokyo with the city of Takasaki, Gunma Prefecture, as frozen wires failed to transmit electricity to trains at Hachioji Station. 

Train services on the Togane Line in Chiba Prefecture came to a halt due to pantograph problems, while those on the Keiyo Line that links the Tokyo terminal station with the city of Chiba were suspended due to point troubles at a rail yard in Chiba.

Oh. I suppose that, when it's comparatively rare, snow buggers up the most orderly of societies.
