The whole world is now in white ,as I observed it as soon as I woke up and looked out of my room. So it finally snowed although it was predicted already the day before. We were a little excited for it, for we missed the first big snow on vacation. However,just seconds later, sense of guilty prevails at the thoughts that over 70 million people's lives nationwide are being affected,including blackouts and blockage of transportation. Most probably the snow last night made things even worse for those passengers stranded at airports and their waiting to begin journey back home even longer to reunite with families for the coming spring festival, the Chinese New Year.
Every Tv news channel has roundups of the snow situation and measures taked by different cities etc. I never belived the scale was so big ,and even the cities in south of city were no exception.l And compared to those in the country lost power supply, I decide I wil never plan to move and live there. Cities are always priority of rescue. When watching such news, my parents and I couldn't help feeling we've been so lucky with weather during our travel.
The first day, on Jan 11, our flight to Xiamen, ( about 40 minutes late) was one of few flights flying out of Hangzhou airport on a very bad foggy day.
And our flight back from Guangzhou was on time, just two days after and before big snows, when already thousands of people were stranded.
Good luck to all.
