Yes, 3 days of snowy weather! Apparently, this is the most amount of snow days they've had in about 20 years (many different reports from 17-25 years). It is causing major havoc for those traveling for Chinese New Years - the only time during the year many people travel to see wives, parents and children. It is quite sad that many people are stranded at airports and train stations. There is one train station that had over 500,000 people stranded - can you imagine that many people at one station?

For us, it's been fun and a welcome change to rain! The kids have been having lots of fun playing in the snow and coming in to have hot chocolate (thank you Aunt S - perfect timing!!!!). Yesterday, it did not snow, even though the kids had a snow day - they cancelled school due to the roads being pretty bad. It was actually sunny for a bit. But, today, it has started snowing again and it is forecasted for more snow this weekend.
