winter= snow + extreme cold

 I forgot to write about winter...

 

It's still not over, it won't be over until April, so they say.. Which means that I have to deal with cold freezing gusts of wind, wet gloomy weather with no escape of the unrelenting cold.  It actually wouldn't have been that bad if  my heater was working and if my room was not located on the 11th floor with a balcony. The gusts of wind seep through the balcony door and this makes my room much more colder than the room in "The Exorcist".  

Sort of feels like living in a ice box.. The only thing that makes the whole winter okay is the snowing and unfortunately for me, it doesn't snow much in Wuhan. It snowed pretty much once or twice since I've been here.. For those who haven't seen the pictures, here they are..

The view from my balcony... I took this at 8:40 am.  I was constantly waking up that morning just to see if it was snowing.. :)

The Garden work done by the school.. the snow makes the smiley face more visible!

 The Park right aside my dorm.. every morning a lot of elderly Chinese people practice Taijichuan ( a form of mental and body martial arts).. They have tempoparily stopped practicing during the Chinese New Year..

 I couldn't write my name in Hanzi in the snow... :P

 

 The park once more....
