Karohemd's World

Wow, I didn't think the snow would stick. It's absolutely glorious outside and I don't have a camera with me (I really need to keep at least the G10 in my backpack). All those wonderfully snow hedges, fences, lamposts etc. would make nice subjects. I don't think I've had really nice snow days like this in Germany in the last years.

What I find a little odd, especially in light of all the silly health and safety regulations out there, is that nobody is required to keep the pavement in front of their house clear of snow and ice. I guess there isn't a regulation because it's a rare occurence but it's still suprising (at least to someone from a snowy country).

I can't even see the river anymore, the rain is that thick. It's like a wall of water being blown across the field between the building and the river...

ETA: Now, half an hour later, the sun is out.

What's all this whinging about the cold? It wasn't even freezing last night.

Now, in my hometown it's currently -15 degrees C and there were some areas in Bavaria that reached below -30 last night. That's cold.

Weather forecast for Maidstone on Sunday isn't good. Raincoat and hat are in order, I think...
Let's hope the forecast is wrong, as so often. As long as it doesn't rain, I don't mind.
