The other day, I asked Matthew what he really misses about Connecticut and his answer was snow. It gets cold in Shanghai and we do get some flurries but no real accumulation. Well, yesterday it started snowing. Matthew came home from his dental appointment and immediately found his snowball maker. The movers shipped the wrong box and we found it when it arrived. We never opened it again...until yesterday. It continued to snow all day long.
The ground is relatively warm so not much was sticking but we did get enough to make snow men and have a snow ball fight. All the kids came out and made snow men. It looked like a community of snow people all over the compound. Boy, was Matthew happy. It was like his wish came true. I was happy because I didn't have to shovel it. The local Chinese were in awe. I guess they've never seen snowmen before. We had fun running around and getting totally wet and sweaty. It continued to snow today but its is already melting. Matt was right, snow is fun, I guess I missed it too.
