Last night we had Tianjin's first snow fall of the year. A thick flurry of snow fell throughout the night, gaining intensity until morning, when we all awoke to find the usually dust covered city temporarily clean and white. What I like even more than Tianjin's snow bath is the enthusiasm everyone shows for the snow. It's not often that Tianjin gets snow, but when it does one of the most popular pastimes is making snow men. They're a bit different from home; instead of three separately molded and hand-patted balls, Tianjingers favor impromptu snowmen sculpted out of the piles shoveled off the sidewalks. Here's just a sample of the model men down Bin Jiang Dao. See more at my photo sharing site, www.AmericanFair.shutterfly.com.
