The greater Tokyo area experienced the coldest weather of the season Friday morning, a day after a heavy snowfall that prompted the Japan Meteorological Agency to issue its first heavy snow warning for central Tokyo in four years.

Frozen road surfaces and other snowfall-related factors caused traffic closures and railroad delays. It was reported that a number of people were injured in accidents and falls caused by the snow. The cold weather is expected to continue on Saturday.
