Have I talked about the Winter yet this year, about
the snow?
I don't think I have, have I?
It was a little warmer, yesterday, than usual so
the snow lost a little of its volume.
This picture was taken this morning.
When the thermometer in the car displayed this:
Take my word for it — that is slightly
chilly!
Obviously you'll now be asking what the roads look
like.
Well, I assure you, there is no need for concern
— today they have been cleared
and look more or less like this for most of the way
down to St.Gallen:
Two inches of packed snow.
In St.Gallen it is much warmer [-13°] and there is
more traffic so a lot of the snow had disappeared
from the roads by 07:00. Instead it was piled up on
the pavements, where pedestrians had to fight to
pass each other.
I do like the winter – don't you?
