After you   Thank you !   What's the weather like in your country ? I suppose it must be warmer than here .   Oh , yes . We have rather mild winters . It always has much sunshine in winter . But it was very foggy when I left two days ago . I knew it would be colder here , but I thought there would be a lot of snow .   We don't have much snow in winter in Beijing . In fact , we haven't had any so far this winter . The winter is rather long , but the cold is generally not severe . The temperature seldom gets as low as ten below zero Centigrade .   What is the temperature today , do you know ?   About freezing point , I think.But the morning's forecast said that we are going to have a very cold spell in the next few days - and the temperature will probably drop to 10 or 15 degrees below zero .   Oh , I'm very lucky that my wife let me take a heavy overcoat .   It is considerate of your wife .   Yes , she is . By the way , what is the best season in Beijing ?
