SNOW!

Just have to show you pictures of all the snow!!! I live in a city where the weather is mostly dry, and doesn't snow (but gets really cold) but suddenly one night it just started to snow and didn't stop.






The road into my apartment complex


The main street in front of my apartment building


The street... see the cars driving. That night I was across town at a friend's house and didn't realize how fast the snow was falling. We waited outside for a bus or taxi to drive by for 45 minutes until a bus finally came and then I had to get off and switch to a taxi. The driver said no one knew how to drive on roads like this and thought it was to dangerous so just went home (keep in mind - it doesn't usually snow here). No shoveling nor salt was laid on any of the main roads - definitely a little crazy coming home that night.

See the magazine stand... I'm good friends with the owner and his wife. Sometimes I'll stop and we'll sit outside on the street on stools and talk for little bit.

Anyway, I took this picture... cause this is where I about wiped out on the sidewalk, it was all ice! Fun sliding on! :)


Pretty pictures of the snow from my campus




雪人 (xue2 ren2) translates 'snow people'
