Winter Wonderland

Guess what my entire world has been covered with since I returned to Germany from England? Snow. Snowsnowsnowsnowsnow. Snow. It started when I got back on the 6th and hasn't melted at all really just yet. We've got a pretty constant 3 - 4" of it here and the temp has been staying low enough that it's remained frozen for the most part. Now, the kid in me thinks this is awesome -- I've made snow angels and had snow ball fights these past few days and I intend to go sledding before it's all over. But the grown up who has to work can only think, "Frak, now I have to walk in this stuff because it's too icy to ride my bike in. Oh, and my hair is messed up because of this big hat and the bottoms of my jeans are wet and cold and I think my nose is chapped. Is that even possible?! Who chaps their nose?!"

Anyway, the snow remains regardless of my ambivalence. And here are some pictures of it!
