Sunday morning, Chip woke me up to see our winter's first snow. I looked out our window and saw this (above). What is it about the first snow that is so exciting?! Snow means cold and layers and slippery sidewalks and not being able to use your hands because they are either too cold or your gloves are too thick. Nonetheless, the first snow is always beautiful and fills me with excitement.
Walking to class in the snow--the first of many such days ahead of us!
For those hoping to improve their Chinese, here's some basic snow vocabulary.
Snow 雪 (xue)
Falling Snow 下雪 (xia xue)
Snow Man 雪人 (xue ren)
Snow Ball 雪球 (xue qiu)
I guess it's good you lived in Michigan all those years to prepare you for the cold!
ReplyDeletei can't believe it's snowing in changchun but NOT in harbiN.. yet!! we just had a little slushy rain last night but no snow- amazing! but it's still pretty dang cold. hehe enjoy! :D
ReplyDeletei don't know why...but its funny to me that you have snow...
ReplyDeleteCrazy! We don't even have it yet! Looks like you're staying toasty:) Will it get worse?
ReplyDeleteOh Yeah! We will have a lot of snow. We border North Korea we are close to Russia. It's gonna be like this until about April. . .
ReplyDeletei got excited by the first snow in Michigan this year, too. i was also a little nervous about wondering if Michigan winters would be as bad as we've been warned, but i still think snow is beautiful, even though i don't like driving in it or cleaning it off of my car. :)
