What I Saw During the Third Snow

Yilu Shang's What I Saw During the Third Snow

Huainan's third snow became heaviest late last night, and this morning there was still some light snow falling. But the scene was no longer the same.

First, more people walking to and from work. Many taxis that had not gone out had to be dug out of the snow before they could get on the road.

Second, there were obviously fewer breakfast sellers in the morning. On Liugongsi Road there were only two left, one stall on each side of the road.

Third, vegetable prices went up. There were obviously fewer vendors in the market, and people crowded into the supermarkets. Suguo and RT-Mart were packed shoulder to shoulder.

Fourth, roads inside residential compounds were also difficult to walk on. Compared with the last snow, this one was deeper, and ordinary boots were no longer useful.

I hope this snow can stop. Snow has brought inconvenience, but children are very excited. Many children are building snowmen in the snow.

Let us look at some photos of Huainan's road conditions.
