Shanghai, Dec 4 – Shanghai citizens were surprised to see the first winter snow yesterday evening, which started in the suburban Chongming area. It was also the earliest snowfall in the past five years.

The city's first snow usually appears at the end of December or the beginning of January, said Kong Chunyan, Chief Service Officer with Shanghai Meteorologic Bureau. And last winter Shanghai didn't see snowfall until February 9 this year.

Starting from today, the weather will be fine in the coming three days. And affected by the approach of supplementary cold front and radiation cooling, the city will remain freezing with the low temperature of 1-2 degrees Celsius in downtown areas and zero degrees Celsius in the suburbs, said the forecaster.

下雪啦！2014年12月3日晚上，上海迎来今年冬天第一场雪，降雪率先在崇明出现。这也是5年来申城最早的一场雪。

据上海气象局首席服务官孔春燕介绍，本市冬季最早的降雪一般出现在12月底1月初。上个冬天的第一场雪迟迟未落，直到今年2月9日才姗姗来迟。

记者从上海中心气象台获悉，随着补充冷空气“驾到”和夜间辐射降温的共同影响，上海最近气温依旧会偏低。预计今天起，上海将三天晴好。气温方面，未来两天气温依旧维持偏低的现状，最高7℃—8℃，最低1℃—2℃，明天早晨受辐射降温影响，郊县最低气温可达0℃—2℃。
