Up till now the winter here has been lovely and mild.Similar to an Irish winter but without all the rain. That is the kind of winter I prefer- cold but dry with fantastic blue skies. Here's some photos I took last week.
However there are Artic winds coming to Germany this week and the weather is about to get A LOT colder. As low as -15 degrees even! Elderly people are being advised to stay inside. I was actually surprised at the number of them I saw out and about just now, many even cycling, ignoring the advice and not looking too bothered. Lots of very active pensioners over here!
Despite my initial negative reaction on seeing the snow outside, there is something really beautiful and majestic about a blanket of pure white snow everywhere. It is so lovely at this stage before it gets all mucky and icy!
Ha, ha! Your opening line had me laughing! So true! We don't have the snow here in Berlin but we're down to -11 today. Can't wait until it gets warmer. Brr.
ReplyDeleteyou'll probably get some snow in Berlin this week. It's icy cold here today! I'm also looking forward to when the weather starts getting warmer...hopefully soon!
