Winter has come to Beijing

When I woke up this morning I could hear a familiar noise. Someone shuffling snow... And I was correct. Now it feels more Christmas like here in Beijing.

No cars have winter tires so it was a not so crowded but a slippery taxi ride to the office this morning. Notice the rolled-up cable on the lamppost. It's there to have some cable to use if they are going to move the pole or rearrange the cables. Thought I was smart when I realized I also can use the panorama function on the camera to create vertical pictures. I love panorama pictures! This is the view from my place at the office if I turn my head 180°.
