Snowfall in Germany

From 31 December until 16 January it snowed in Germany! Then Alan left and took the snow with him. He was gone for 12 days and there was no snow fall until 2 days before he returned. It started snowing again just before he came home and then did not stop for another week. They tell us this is not a normal snow fall year, normally it snows one time and then that is all until spring when it might snow again one more time for good measure.








At one point during this snowy season there was 9 inches of new snow on our patio! They don't let snow deter them in Germany though, schools did not close but they did delay start for 2 hours one day during all this. We moved into our house while is was snowing, bought our first German car (Purple Car) in the middle of a snow storm, found a new route the house to avoid the steep hill covered with snow, went for long snow walks in the forest! Toured our first castle in the snow, pretty much if we wanted to do anything the first month in our new home it was in the snow! WE have adapted, put on snow boots, put RainX in the windshield and just kept going!


A FRESH COAT OF SNOW MAKES EVERYTHING LOOK SO CLEAN AND FRESH!! I know spring will be wonderful and summer will bring delights and with a forest right outside our front door the fall will be beautiful, but there is just something about sitting in your comfy chair, sipping cocoa and watching it snow!
