This is the scene from outside my office window. (FYI, SJTU = Shanghai Jiaotong University). Photos were taken by colleges in office.

Shanghai is much warmer that many cities in China. But i see from the photo that it also experience a freezing winter.
Posted by: Nancy on January 29, 2008 4:30 PMWhen I left PVG it had just started to snow. Nothing was accumulating so we didn't need to get deiced. It sure is strange having snow there. Also, from your photos I now know exactly where your office is. I walk by it all the time. George

Posted by: fujianren on January 30, 2008 1:44 AMI'm very sorry to hear on the international news, what devastating effects this weather has had throughout China. It was so helpful, when listening to news reports, to have already had your perspective about those people waiting at train stations, etc.
And how cool (a pun!) that you made the kijiji promo in the snow like that. What fun if it happened to become visible by something like Google Earth :-)
Posted by: Carroll on January 30, 2008 9:37 AMI really hope that our SIA flight can land at Pudong on Saturday... the forecast is looking pretty bad for Friday (just the day before), and I believe they expect huge delays and cancellations again at Pudong on Friday... :(
@AussiePB: Please bring some green leafy vegetables along. They are very hard to get now. I am sure your in laws will appreciate them.

No, UAL. I did train some Russian Pilots in 1994 in Denver. I still keep in touch with one who flies for Aeroflot.
Posted by: George747 on January 30, 2008 12:14 PMI could hardly believe it when I heard the news that it had snowed in Shanghai and Nanjing and points south. Thank you for the wonderful pics. The first is the route I would hurry down many mornings to my English class. Now I miss it more than ever; my students said it hadn't really snowed in ten years. I missed that coming from a snowy region, and missed it again this year (by moving back--it snowed here too, and is about -10 C now)! Thanks and happy new year!
