A strong cold front chilled Taiwan from Saturday and brought snow to some mountainous areas during the weekend. The cold air caused temperatures to drop from Saturday to Monday to lowest level in more than a decade in most parts of Taiwan. Take Taipei for example, the cold air sent temperatures down to 4 degrees Celsius Sunday morning, the lowest level in 43 years. To many people's surprise, snow visited many mountainous areas in the northern part of the island, including Yangming Mountain in the northern suburb of Taipei, attracting many people to go uphill to witness the rare sight.
