Cloudy in Beijing Blogging about my time in China

Spring

Yes, it took a while. But the winter is finally gone. And thus no more need for these sweaters or wrapping myself in a blanket when sitting in my apartment.

It must have been one of the longest winters I've ever experienced, Beijing's first snowfall coming on the first of November. For months, it felt like a ceiling of gray clouds was perpetually looming over this city; the trees barren and the overall color of the place dormant and drained.

Yet, now with the weather better,  it doesn't exactly feel like spring. Instead, it seems as if Beijing just skipped that season, and went straight to summer. This past week the temperatures in the city have reached 70 and even 80 degrees Fahrenheit. I hope this weather lasts for a long time; the skies look pretty.
