I see *real* snow today!

(To my dear friends in Hong Kong and California!)

Look at this picture taken yesterday:















Sunny and bright, right? Just looked like a warm summer day. But you are deceived (so did i)! It was -11F outside. With wind chill it felt like -20F (almost -26C). We were joking that it'd be better to hide in a fridge.

But today...

It was snowing like crazy! Walking on the snow when it's snowing is a fun experience. The snow came all over my face and body. Imagine walking in a heavy rain (like red raining signal in HK) but the rain drops are ice drops.

Also, walking become a bit tiring because every step immerses your foot into the snow. It takes some extra effort to lift your foot again. So i ended up hopping (jumping lightly) instead of walking, i.e., lifting the foot before it steps too deeply into the snow. It was fun too!
