In my memory, the last time it snowed is 1996. I was a Junior in Shanghai Jiaotong University. In the past 8 years, it didn't snow. So you know why everybody rushed to the window side excitedly when we became aware of the snow outside. Yep. I hope it can snow longer and see the now covered Shanghai - I never saw such scene in Shanghai.
Snow Stopped
It stopped snowing at around 4:00 PM. In downtown (Xujiahui), I cannot see any place covered by snow yet.

More Observation of the Snow
The snow this noon is breaking news for people in Shanghai since it is so rare at the latitude of 31N. Bloggers are exicted about the snow and recorded it passionately.
This should be the first time for so many blogger to observe the same weather event from different cities. These reports draw a vivid picture of the snow, but they are much better than the weather forecast program....

I wish I were in Shanghai today...
If possible, can you please take as many photos as you can to record this "event"? Hope to see them published on your blog!
Posted by: WilliamW on January 18, 2004 12:59 PMheard this news from my friends. Then I came to your site to check the news update.
Not disappointed, saw the pictures like live show.
Great job.
It is still snowing at 3:00 PM. The snow has continued for 4 hours. It is rarely seen.
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on January 18, 2004 2:48 PMYes, last time it really was snowing was 1996 (17th February). Some snow did stay a while on trees and grasslands, but today's snow didn't leave a mark.

Posted by: hippy (external link) on January 18, 2004 9:47 PMHippy, I can share the view in picture with you, but you have opened a new window for you that I cannot see.
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on January 18, 2004 11:13 PMWow!! I just got back from Shanghai it was cold but I would have liked to see the snow fall. My co-worker might get to enjoy it instead!
JSW thanks for the great site my company uses your blog for all newbies going to Shanghai as its by far the best for information on the city and events.
My next trip is in April so hopefully spring weather will have returned.
Posted by: Nick on January 19, 2004 1:21 AMWow. Nick, I am so surprised and happy to know that this site is used for all newbies in your *company*. It is so cool!
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on January 19, 2004 9:15 AMIs it really true that, before this one, it didn't snow in Shanghai after 1996? Or you are just talking about "heavy" snow. I was told that it snows every year in the city although there is no snow accumulation on the ground.
Posted by: JH on January 19, 2004 6:45 PMSnow in Shanghai? Congratulation... It was a cold rainy day Tokyo today. Let's eat hot noodle.
Posted by: Tane on January 19, 2004 7:11 PMJH, it is both true. In 1996, it snowed and people rush to window to see the snow. That is the last experience before this time. Between the two snow, it randomly snows a little bit. People just don't think it is snow since sometimes, I am not sure weather it is snow or rain ...
Posted by: Jian Shuo Wang (external link) on January 19, 2004 10:38 PMSo pity that I didn't take DC with me today. As a matter of fact, I met with the heaviest period near noon.
