Related to the last post, the weekly forecast has been revised a little, and it's looking like good news. Outcome #2 is the likely one here. The temperature forecasts are revised upwards, and they changed the freezing rain storm to just a plain old rain storm. But they still have snow in the long-range forecast when my actual flight leaves, so that's one thing to keep looking out for.
Meanwhile, a key road across Shanghai has now been closed for, get this, two years. They started work on a subway station which will open to the public in December 2012. That's a long time away folks. Meanwhile, bikes and scooters are now the only things going through what used to be a 6-lane heavy traffic road that was often backed up and clogged for miles.
This is fantastic news for an avid bicyclist and motorcyclist in the city. The road closure means the whole stretch is now virtually free of traffic and I can ride in peace on that section -- a rarity that will take some getting used to! All car traffic has been diverted to other arterials that are even more congested, but I don't use them. For once, this is a nice break.
