Heavy Snow in Shanghai

It has been raining and cold this week since I arrived from Malaysia. the temperature had been a few degrees above freezing with rain and strong wind every day making it a bit miserable to walk around outside. Yesterday the temperature dipped slightly below freezing so the rain turned into snow.

The weather¡¯s getting colder and colder

Apparently this is quite the event in shanghai, something which happens rarely. one of our office staff told me that the last time she remembers seeing snow here in shanghai was when she was ten, though it apparently did snow briefly last year.
