Original text and translations

English text This snow means business. Waiting for a train on this freezing platform I watch it cascade from the roof like a waterfall, rise swirling from the tracks like a wraith. The pellets that powder my gloves are as sharp and dry as salt. Next to me a Chinese man is reading his paper. The unfamiliar characters fall steadily down the page like snowflakes.
