It did snow here today, more than I’ve ever seen except when I’ve been to a ski field. Here’s what I could see out of my hotel room window. (I know, I know … for Northern Hemisphere people snow is no big deal, but for Australians it is a novelty. I live in one of the coldest parts of Australia, and we get snow (enough to settle on the ground) maybe once every 5 years).
However, it eventually did stop snowing in the afternoon, so I caught the subway to Yuanmingyuan Park to have a look around. As you can see, lots of snow there, too.
Not to mention a few snowfights going on, and the odd snowman. And lots of workers to sweep snow off the paths. And, did I mention, it was pretty damn cold? I think it got to all of 2 degrees. Tomorrow, its -6 to 3 degrees.
