This winter is supposed to be the worst in 55 years! Sounds like we're going to get the winter this year, that we could've done with last year when we had the Winter Olympics! So we're in for a cold one - it's not even offcially winter, and we got the first snowfall that stayed on the ground on November 25th!We woke up to this view in the morning - we even had snow on our balcony! Last winter we only had a few snow flurries downtown, and then snow never settled on the ground, so for it to snow this early, this much - I think we're in for a cold one!
Walking to work, it was quite pretty - a lot of people didn't go to work that day if they had far to travel. I did feel that it must have been blatantly obvious that I was a foreigner though, as I clearly didn't have my snow legs - I was walking every gingerly! Getting home was interesting though, I took the bus, and half way up the hill the driver had to ask us all to move to the back half of the bus as he couldn't get enough traction to get up the hill! We got there in the end though!We did have some cold temperatures over those few days, it was down to around -9 C at times, bbbbrrrrrrrrrrrr.......... and when we woke up the next day, the snow was pretty much all gone. Until the next time......
