Known for its extraordinary heat, Wuhan is having a record breaking winter with snow! Our dear JunFen is getting a sneak peek of where she will live in Minne-snoooow-ta! A big difference, of course, is that MN is equipped and well experienced in dealing with snow - unlike central China.
We pray that she is warm and safe. We've read that there have been some blackouts and restrictions on use of electricity. We're glad that we sent her a warm coat for the Chinese New Year!

Description of second photo: The elevated view of the Jiangtan Park is seen in Wuhan of Hubei Province, known as one of the "Three Furnaces" of China for its hot summer weather. The worst prolonged snow, rain and cold weather period in a decade has hit about 14 provincial level regions in China, responsible for at least 24 deaths and affecting nearly 78 million people with direct economic losses of over 22 billion yuan (about US$3.06 billion) so far. The snow has paralyzed air, rail and highway traffic, stranding tens of thousands of passengers on their way home for the Spring Festival.
