Winter 2009 (first snow)

December 17th 2009,

I wake up and look outside and there it is winter has entered the Netherlands, giving the world a totaly diferent look by the snow that had fallen during the night.

The world does look nicer with with all the snow, actualy you do not want to stap into the snow, becuase it looks so beautiful when the snow is un-touched, unfortunately work called and we had to travel to the office.

The disadvantage of the snow shows itself within seconds, the car will hardly move its place, braking and steering is suddenly a totaly diferent chapter in this winter wonderland.

During work it kept on snowing so the looks did not change and neither did the road, of course the highway is ok, some major roads in city's and villages are ok too, but when entering the road that only lead to where we live it gets more difficult again.

Well, the roads, front and back garden do look well cover by the snow, it does give the cosy feeling, especialy during this time of the year, hopefully it willlast till christmas period, so we can have a white christmas this year.
