Not just dreaming of a White Christmas


Yesterday a serious snow came. It started in the middle of the day and kept falling late into the night. Walking home from my last class around 8 pm there was about 15 cm of snow on the ground. I was a little surprised at how bright it is at night with the snow reflecting light.

Today it's stopped falling and the whole town looks magical, especially the campus with the big old gothic buildings and the enchanted forest. This photo makes me expect to see a faun walk past wearing a red scarf, carrying parcels and an umbrella. (I'm going to see The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe tonight!)

I've taken some more photos of where I live and around campus.

I think I'm pretty well equiped with clothes for cold weather now (I've been buying bits and pieces for the last few weeks). In fact, I'm starting to gain a new appreciation for garments I never cared about before. There's no way I can leave the house without a warm hat, scarf and gloves -- things I never needed in Oz!

I urge you to take this rare opportunity to wear a muff over the face. Then you could ride a stage coach, preferably transporting the mail, and the very picture of a Dickensian lad.

Right, I have advised you to buy a muff three times now and ride a mail coach, but my text gets eaten. But there is the summary. To hell with this page!
