It's snowing now It begins snowing outside. It's the first snowing in Chengdu this year. I wore thick clothes this morning because it's really cold today. My feet are frozen stiff now. There is just light snow in the center downtown while it's much heavier in the suburb area like the region between the Second Ring Road and the Third Ring Road. I think it's resulted from the heat island effect, which means the denser human activities in the city center impels the increasing rate of temperature to be larger than the surrounding areas, which enables the city center a higher temperature like a heat island. Living in Chengdu is wonderful especially when it comes the unexpectable snow after a few tedious winters without any snow.
