冻雨转大雪

如同昨天的天气预报，今天一早无比精确的下了冻雨。气温骤降至摄氏1度。

UPDATE：大雪持续了一整天，有时如鹅毛般大！听同事说，休斯敦上一次见到雪是2005年了～对于“本地人”来说，这相当于到西伯利亚了

这种大雪大雾天气在北京一般每年一次吧。。。

问了老兵，他说college station几乎没下多少雪，看来这里是冷锋面啊。跟他说这儿下大雪了，他问 那你们是放假了么？又不是刮飓风... 不过最好不要让我碰上啊


We had a heavy snow day in Houston, which lasts till now and will hardly stop. And the temperature drops to 1C (feels like -4C) See how the street looked like under the cover of heavy fog and snow:


作为对比，这是半月之前的某一天。看那明朗的秋日～
As a comparison, this is from the same view angle a few weeks before.




My new powerful Dell T7400 doesn't cooperate well with Ubuntu very well -- when using the terminal, the keyboard sometimes is not responding. Here's the solution from WEB:

1. sudo apt-get install scim-bridge-client-qt

2. Edit the file /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim by typing in a terminal (Applications>Accessories>Terminal):

sudo gedit /etc/X11/xinit/xinput.d/scim

Change the line:

GTK_IM_MODULE=xim

into :

GTK_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"

Change the line:

QT_IM_MODULE=xim

into :

QT_IM_MODULE="scim-bridge"

I also installed driver for graphic card, then I can activate Ubuntu's *coolest ever* visual effects:
