Changsha is one of the four furnaces of China.
The past two days we have been having a massive snowstorm. People here don't know how to deal with it. They certainly don't know how to drive in it. Pedestrians don't allow for the difficult driving conditions. There are no plows, no sand or salt for the roads, no all weather tires, no curved shovels even.
The Changsha airport has closed. I am due to fly out to Canada on Monday. The storm is supposed to continue for at least another day but it seems to be getting better. I've been in China for seven and a half years. This is the second time I've planned to go home at Spring Festival. The first time I was grounded by an ice storm and never made it out of Changsha. This time ........
Looks nice though and the people here suck at snowball fighting. It seems that Hunan girls don't know how to duck.
