Let it snow, let it snow

It snowed last night here in Beijing! We went out for dinner at Hatsune, our favorite Japanese restaurant - I absolutely LOVE sushi now - and then went out to a "cuban" bar for a few drinks. While sitting in the bar, I kept looking outside, thinking how the raindrops were so big, I could see them really clearly through the window. That's when I realized it was snow - and it quickly piled up. It was a beautiful drive home through the snow. The ground is warm, so it was mainly just slush - no real fear of it turning into ice as it wasn't cold enough. The girls played in the snow today, making snowmen, until some boys came and knocked the snowmen over (boys are MEAN!). Most of it melted by the end of the day. It was nice to see some snow though - it's the first precipitation we've had here since December 31st. Hopefully, it will clean some of the air up for a few days.
