Snow in Dalian


Woke up this morning to around an inch of snow on the ground...its really cold here, -7 degrees C, which is about 20 degrees F. It made the normally chaotic 1 hr commute to the site an even bigger adventure. Snow removal techniques are a bit different here. Orange and green clad workers sweep the freeway clear of snow using straw brooms. The road-salting truck is a bunch of guys with shovels in the back of a truck flinging out the salt. And check out the home-made snow shovel. I saw these almost everywhere in the city. They seem to work ok for pushing the snow off the concrete and granite surfaces in front of the buildings
