Snow in China


Suzhou, China rarely receives much snowfall. This photo, from a friend living in Suzhou, shows how the dusting of snow is removed from walkways. What a pretty scene with the frosting on the trees and shrubs! (It would be nice to know what kind of trees these are, still with their leaves attached in January. Also, it's interesting to see that the trunks are painted white? As a prevention of winter sun scald damage perhaps?)
