Flying candyfloss

It is the 2nd big snow day of the week. Today, skip my weekly voluntary work at Addenbrooke's Hospital (god forgive me!), skip going to the lab and escape to CMS library compiling data (I'm still working!). Watching the big snow outside the window, it's so amazing! Big and small chuck of snowflakes, exactly like candyfloss, pouring down from the sky and flying in the air. Everything is white, it is like my childhood imagination of heaven. But I think heaven should have a blue sky instead of the grey sky in Cambridge. My housemate, Lisa, a 23 years old English girl, told that she has never seen such a big snow in England.

When everyone was crowding at those famous colleges for phototaking, I introduced Emmanuel College's rear garden to my friends.
Emmanuel College is the nearest college to my house and I visited it countless time before (borrow using the toilet most of the time! hehe), but this was the first time I really looked at its rear garden.

Emmanuel's main building. The students are really quick, it was the first morning of the snow and they already made a big snow duck.

Come to the reality part. Snowing is poetic, playing with snow is fun but when the snow melts and becomes ice, it is too slippery to walk on it. This girl was poouring salt on the snow and then shovel off the snow from the footpath.

King's Chapel. This is the famous one.
