Winter Storm Grips China

Take a look at this report of the winter storm, as written by the Associated Press. Take it with a grain of salt, because Shanghai has only received 1-2 inches rather than the foot reported therein.

Still, certainly thousands of people are stranded and cold without food or transportation. Movement of food supplies was stopped, along with trains, airplanes and car travel in many of these regions. These areas of so far south that they are ill-equipped for any snow, and especially a storm dropping over a foot of snow, if even over a period of 1 week.

Reports say that the weather should remain bad for the next few days.

Weather.com reports that Shanghai should be sunny and in the upper 30s tomorrow with only a 10% chance of precipitation, so our international flight ought to remain unaffected.
