Hundreds have played truant from offices to sneak a peak of the first snowfall of the winter. Been snowing here for three days, but it's a mighty thin blanket. At most 1" every night. Funny to watch people drive with only trace amounts of snow onthe roads. It's sort of like Maryland, Washington or Virginia -- people drive like retards at the sight of the first snow flake.

tsap seui Posted February 19, 2009 Report Share Posted February 19, 2009 We've been watching the weather in Beijing and Shenyang. It looks like I won't get delayed getting out of Beijing and can land in Shenyang. tsap seui Link to comment

It's been so dry up that way, that many of the farmers crops have been affected. It was warmer than usual too. Things started to cool off when we left last Thursday night, and then it started to rain. Very much needed and good news! Link to comment
Craig and Mingjun Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 Tsap, good to hear. I was concerned we were going to hear reports of some crazy redneck trying flap his arms to fly off from Beijing to his li'l rabbit Link to comment
carl.hops Posted February 20, 2009 Report Share Posted February 20, 2009 The snow hit Tianjin as well, I was really surprised to see it. It just started to warm up, I know the crops are suffering but I hope it doesn't last too long. Its time for some sun shine! Link to comment
