SNOW!

The locals have a saying here; the temperatures will rise once 春节(CNY) is over. It did, for 2 days before it starting dipping to levels lower than we had experienced in our very first week.

Its hot back home too, 35degrees Celsius. Everywhere is being affected. Global warming perhaps.

Back to the topic, we thought we were never going to see snow here in Beijing but I guess heaven was kind to us. It did not snow during winter and yet Beijing has now witnessed its first snowfall in what I would term as a winter-spring transition.

Woohoo~!

Now, what do you make of the snowflakes? This was in the morning when the snow first started to fall. Check out the shape, this was all natural without any human interference. Nice!

After work, the snow came down heavier and faster and it started accumulating on the streets.
It's my first time witnessing and walking in a snow-fall. I can only say, its really beautiful. Staring outside my room now, I can only say it brings me an unexplainable peace.
After dinner, somewhere along the streets in 国贸when it started snowing real heavily again.
I left my prints beside the tree. Lol.
The view from my room, I apologise for the colour as I was reluctant to open the window to take the picture. Doesn't it paint a picture of peace and tranquility?

Today's weather forecast was 20% chance of precipitation.
Tomorrow's weather forecast: 30% in the day and 50% at night.
Wonder if it will happen. Better wrap myself up more! Its freezing.
