so cold yet something’s missing…
..Yes, the snow! I’ve been before in places colder than this (the lowest in Beijing I’ve seen by far has been -19c/-2F) but normally this coldness comes with snow. So where is my snow? Maybe we need to head to a skiing resort next weekend to get the real feel.
Meanwhile, the kids got to explore first time ever a frozen lake and some ice skating is planned afterwards. Oh those memories, I still remember when I went with my husband for his first walk on the frozen sea in Finland. Apparently it is a pretty memorable thing – walking on water (albeit frozen, but still)…
First time on ice and it’s so much fun! Slippery and things to see: layers of ice, oxygen bubbles, cracks, frozen leafs…
Poor ducks can’t get into water…
Ice fun the Chinese way for non-skaters
Ice fishing – the fishermen keep fishing no matter what the weather is like!
This little fashionista has been skiing in the garden every day – and is now ready for larger slopes
So cool, I can jump into the ice…this is fun!
This is winter Beijing style – not much, but this little amount of snow & ice has been on the ground for over a month already…
