And here's what all the fuss was about. Kunmingers pulled out the best of their most colourful and elaborate parkas and beanies and anything that had fur on it (a thousand missed photo opportunities) and hit the streets with their kids to enjoy the unusual sight of snow on the streets. According to my neighbours it had not snowed like this in Kunming for thirty years. It was all looking a little watery and doubtful to start with but by mid morning we were walking under a flaky dusty snowfall and while it was crispy cold, it was beautiful. And fun.
