Snow Snow and more Snow

It has snowed in Rizhao.  Our first taste of the winter snow.  And it is beautiful.

Paul, Sarah and I went out to have fun in the snow while waiting for Helen to pick us up.

She had invited us to go through to Huangdao to the Metro to do some shopping.  But I must say that the roads were a bit scary, travelling in the snow.

We left the white Rizhao, but got through to Huangdao which had no snow.  It was snowing there, but as it hit the ground so it melted.  And it was not little flurries either.

When we returned to Rizhao, it looked like the snow was melting.  But that evening it came down heavily.

And the next morning it was covered again.  So Paul and I decided to go out and get some photos.

 The cars were covered in snow.

 The grader clearing the roads for the cars.  But the more they grade, the more the ice forms.

 The trees looked so beautiful with the snow on their branches.

 Our first snowman.

 Snow fight.  I must say, Paul hit me with some good throws.  

It is beautiful.
