Snow!

Winter in Beijing in cold, especially on the windy days!  But once in a while, we'll get a little light snow that makes things a little prettier and worth the cold.  It's not Utah, but it's pretty.  This is definitely not snow you can eat though.  Most of the time, the snow comes when we've had bad pollution and the snow helps to make the sky blue again.  A few benefits to having the snow!

On the tennis court of our apartment complex, this worker was shoveling snow into a large cardboard box, set it on a cart, and pushed it to the side of the court.  He did this over and over.  We thought maybe it was because he didn't want to use a shovel on the court.
