For the most part, the Changchun Friends website is not very active and has been superseded by the Tencent "Wechat" app by the local expat community. This website is maintained sporadically, people may still join and membership is still open, but if you are a spammer, stay away. The archived information here is still useful, but some may be out of date. There are plans to make it more useful for static information in the future. If anyone needs information about Changchun or China, you may post a message and it probably will get a response but not immediately.
Ok guys and gals - here we guess on the first day of snow - the winner gets a free beer or soft drink/coffee of their choice - courtesy of yours truly (Yes, we are magnificently generous!)
My bet - 14th November
As I am the judge , jury and provider, my decision is final! God, i love the power!
Place your guesses here!

Yes, that is a difficult one. If you are Chinese, spring starts on January 23rd. If you are a foreigner, it starts either on March 21st, or when the monkey's ballz thaw out after a frozen winter!! Of course, not that any of us have a monkey hangin' around ...
Neil - I should have bought you a beer tonight!
Chris - waiting till the next time we meet!
Our next weather competition may be something on the lines of when does spring start - but cannot work out how we can judge that one!
Yes, it was a wonderful competition. I'd like to thank the Academy of Motion Snowfalls, the producers, directors, scriptwriters, my Mom, my brother, my sister, my 3 cats, 7 fish and 2 gerbils. I'd like to thank my neighbors, my flowers, the ants in my kitchen, and, last, but not least, since I am a dyslexic agnostic, I'd like to thank my dog ...
And now, on to the next part of our competition ... the first snowfall related traffic accident ... oh crap ... that already happened, didn't it?
Seriously, that was a lot of fun, and I look forward to doing it again next year. When and where do Neil and I pick up our prizes, Richard?
It was a beautiful competition, huge struggle on both sides, kept hope until the end but had to admit that some parameters can't be fought. Hail to the winners!
Neil and Chris are the winners!
