It’s been something of a pathetic winter here. Some days are very cold, others are like a warm, rainy day in early Spring. It makes it very difficult to dress for school. The other day, I went out in thin linen pants because it felt so balmy, even though there was a slight mist, then as soon as I arrived at school, it was snowing.
I love the snow. But I can’t help but feel sorry for the snow here. The skies above Saarland are doing only a half-assed attempt at making snow. The fluffy white flakes fall down in droves, but melts into slush the moment it hits the ground. No lovely white roofs, nothing to crunch underfoot, just wet, green grass.
We had white roof on Katya’s birthday in Dudoweiler. 😀
Just after I posted this entry, I walked out of the building to a white winter wonderland. Then I got a text message from Sabrina later that night saying: “Not so pathetic any more 😉 ” …
Then again, it was gone the next morning.
