November Rain in Lujiazui, originally uploaded by timbeckenham.

After an unusually mild autumn, Shanghai's notorious renowned weather has unfortunately decided to make its annual visit.

I'm really looking forward to the next three or four months of crappy, "I want to stay inside" weather.

I remember when we arrived here last year from beautiful, sunny and mild Brisbane, we didn't enjoy November at all. Not one bit. Lin says that she remembers riding her bike in the rain, avoiding sloshy puddles and even black ice spots on the roads. I just remember her icicle-touch on my warm skin and a grin of sadistic pleasure on her face.

Just up until a few days ago, it was unusually sunny and dry (so say my long-term local friends).

So I guess November's weather in Shanghai might have some catching up to do. As does Lin's icicle fingers.
