2008-01-27:
It is now certain, washing machine's pipe is frozen. I didn't know that a part of this pipe is outside. As as you can see on the picture, the part of the pipe that is outside has the form of a "U" where at the deepest point always some water remains. This water is now frozen.
















How to protect your car from snow? This car driver was creative. To park as close as possible to the building, and then to cover the car properly.
















"Street-workers" in action. These people are at this moment everywhere and fight a hopeless battle. It hasn't stopped snowing. Today I have even seen this kind of special car with which you clean the streets. An Yan told me that there were not so many in Wuhan.

















Unfortunately I was too late to take a picture from the following scene:
A van/ truck is standing on the street. The driver collected some wood (honestly I have no clue where he got it from) , put it on the snow under the tank. The tank is on the left side of the vehicles, outside. And he started a nice fire... I could easily see it when An Yan passed this van/ truck. Either he used fuel of (very) bad quality, or some connections are frozen?! Hmmmm....

Camille who has stayed here in Wuhan for some time and has moved on to another city also has a blog. Her blog is in French. This is the link:
