Snowhere - 雪花落地

一落雪花
一滴雨苗
一丝阳光
全国发妙

Snow in North Eastern America is part and parcel of all winters. In fact, I'm surprised I haven't seen more of it in the last two winters I've been in the US and dismayed I've still yet to see it at Christmas - in the land that mass marketed the wish-for-a-miracle and happy family White Christmas. But snow has been covering my area in Philly, to a greater or smaller extent for the last month.

It is with great surprise that the same amount of snow you expect to see here in America has hit good old London - the land that mass marketed half-hearted gloomy, whining rain. In an even greater surprise the ordinarily moaning minions of London have stopped moaning, briefly. They even stepped out, had snow fights with each other and made conversation with strangers, forgetting, just for a day, that their dismal public transport grounded to a halt with the first snow flake. For this, I applaud you Londoners - it's Miracle on Hampstead Heath, as opposed to Miracle on 34th Street.
