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.


That looks so cool, when I was living down south I’d have to go up to the snowfields to see any snow.
Brrrrrr!
I have seen snow 3 times in my life. Twice at the snowfields and once outside my window. But it wasn’t enough to even settle on the ground. However I totally lost my mind with excitement.
I love snow it is such beautiful phenomenon – winter without this white soft pillow is like summer without a sun. And snow in the city always gets dirty fast so this virgin images are surely great.
I absolutely love the snow! Of course when you live in the south you don’t get to see too much of it, so it’s always nice to see pictures. I do the same thing whenever I get in the snow, you would think I had never seen it at all lol.
