Shanghai is now blanked with thick white snow. This is a series of snow storm that affected large portion of central and southern part of China since January 25th, and is also the worst winter storm in five decades! The storm affected these areas with heavy snow and cold temperatures causing extensive damage, power shortages and transport disruption for millions of Chinese travellers who return to their hometown to celebrate the Spring Festival (which begins on Feb 7). More than 400,000 people were stranded at Guangzhou Railway Station on Friday. Trains have been delayed or canceled as a result of power failure and railway damage. The snow has also blacked out many cities in central provinces.

The weather was unusual especially for the southern part of China. Weather forecast predicts more snow, sleek and strong cold wind will hit central and eastern province soon. The snow will continue to fall accompanied by cold winds and would probably continue for at least the next 3 days!

Here’s some photos taken outside my apartment.
