Beijing saw its first snow earlier this month. Minute flakes started floating down just after midnight one night and by dawn, our little courtyard was wearing a Christmas coat of the purest white.

The temptation to slide the windows open and scoop up soft new snow was irresistible, and it looked like a natural sorbet from the skies. But the frigid cold proved too intense, and it was a comfort to retreat to the warmth again. Thank God for central heating.
