Over this past weekend into Monday there was continuous precipitation that included some snow and freezing rain and some other fun. The total accumulation over the 3 days was less then 2 inches, but it was the largest snow fall in Shanghai in 24 years, which tells you that they don't get significant snow falls here in Shanghai. Needless to say the 2 inches of snow caused some problems throughout the city (and throughout the country). Typical to anywhere that doesn't often get snow (and places like Maryland), people were in a little bit of a panic, but when you take the subway to get to work, the weather above the ground doesn't really affect your commute.
The bad weather throughout China stranded a bunch of people who were looking to take the trains home for New Year Holiday, but we are prepping for my parents to come into town, so the snow gave us a chance to finally take down our Christmas decorations and get some of the house ready for their visit.
