Snow

This morning it is cold - and it snowed for the first time. Not a lot as you can see - and I didn't see it fall, but it is there none the less. The temperature gauge says -2, but there is a wind blowing so outside it feels a lot colder than that.

I don't know if we will have any more snow forecast - but hopefully we will see a little more of it.



There is a little snow on the car which was parked there overnight. Actually the guy that drives that car is currently in Victoria, Australia. My apartment is directly behind the snow covered car. Ground floor (or first floor as it is known here) - I'm told it is warmer than the floors above.

The weather in China

Is attrocious right now. The news on several channels last night reported on the number of blizzards and snow storms and that the Chinese Army is being deployed to remove the snow from main roads. Also there were many power outages and some 60 people have died from the cold.

Airline chaos resulted and in places there were queues of people fighting as they are headed into the Chinese New Year celebrations and so many people are returning to their homes for this important celebration.

I hope it didn't register with my mother who is not keen on my going to China! And I hope the weather improves dramatically over the next three weeks!
