    西湖冬雪

    多年不见的大雪,给整个杭州城都披上了厚厚的冬装,而西湖这颗明珠更是一片银装素裹,分外妖娆。尽管杭州已去过多次,但还没有在冬日欣赏过西湖的景色,更不用说这样多年罕见的雪景了。如此胜景,已超出了我语言表达的能力。湖光山色,掩映于皑皑白雪之中,与夏日的郁郁葱葱相比,另有一番风情。西湖冬雪不似东北雪景那样粗犷、豪放、“惟馀莽莽”,一片天地茫然的感觉,却更加精致、妩媚,一如江南水乡的万种柔情。

    唉,可惜如此美景,未能畅游其间,上面的感受是看了若干朋友所拍照片,艳羡同时,陷入无尽遐思,脑海中显现游赏雪后西湖的幻想……(其实就是YY)

    真的很是羡慕住在杭州的人们,在美丽的西子湖畔,与水光山色为伴,一年中欣赏西湖四季更迭的美妙景致。

    置身美景,忘情山水,夫复何求?

    2008年的第一场雪……

    出乎意料,马上要过春节了,老天给了大家一个强有力的、“恶狠狠”的hug——纷纷扬扬的大雪下个没完没了。

    据报道,上海的降雪,是N多年以来未曾有过的。嗯,的确这样,偶来上海十多年了,也没见过下这么大的雪。但正如鲁迅先生所说,山东大白菜到了这边,就得用红绳挂在店里,尊为胶菜,这雪比起北方来,真是如同儿戏一般了。大概物以稀为贵吧,才吸引了众多注意力。其实,这场大雪之所以吸引大家眼球,更主要的原因是大雪引起了严重的交通瘫痪。似乎上海还好,据说湘、鄂、皖、苏、赣等地的交通严重受阻,许多人被困几天几夜,广州更是滞留了几十万人,许多朋友只好放弃回家过年的念头。真心希望天气尽快好转,能让大家顺利回去过年,另外,司机朋友也要注意,小心驾驶哦!

    但是有些想不通,怎么会交通阻滞得这么厉害。高速公路封闭,倒是可以理解,可说某些城市的交通也几近瘫痪,这就难以想象了。想当年,偶还在家乡时,每逢下雪,雪停后的第一件事就是扫雪。各个企、事业单位都有自己负责的路段,雪停后要将该路段积雪清理干净,即使没有单位负责的路段,也会由市政相关部门负责洒满锅炉中烧完的炉渣,一方面路面防滑,另一方面加速积雪融化。因此,即使雪下得很大,似乎城市交通从来未受很大影响(当然,偶家乡是小城市)。往往雪停后不久,乌黑的柏油马路就现出了原貌,各种车辆照样驰行而过。

    不仅公路,铁路交通也受到了严重影响。怪哉!也许我不了解现在的实际情况。但如果降雪真是这样影响交通的话,东北地区每年冬天岂不成为无法进出的“死地”?大概是东北地区的人们对下雪早已见怪不怪了,可以应对自如,而这次降雪范围与以往不同,因此其它各地的人们不知如何是好吧!
     
    雪灾啊雪灾,只愿如俗语所云——“瑞雪兆丰年”,2008年会是个好年景。曹雪芹老先生不也说了吗,“丰年好大雪,珍珠如土金如铁”,祝大家在2008年也能过上“珍珠如土金如铁”的生活,呵呵……
     
    不过,上海这里,大雪带给人们的兴奋和新鲜感可能远远超过了其负面效应,许多朋友是以快乐的心情来enjoy这雪中生活的,准备迎接即将到来的新春佳节。

    晚间,走在淮海路上,发现上海的雪中夜景真是很美。没有了平日车水马龙的喧嚣,灯光映衬之下,细密的雪花在空中飞舞,飘飘洒洒,晶莹闪亮;遥望远处,光影迷蒙,似乎置身童话世界,一片静谧安详。如斯美景,与谁共赏呢?
     
     
    (PS:大概天公对我上面“儿戏”之言不满,觉得我有大不敬之嫌,雪花儿舞了整整一夜,而且至今未停,早晨起来,外面已是白茫茫一片,到处厚厚一层积雪了。)
