Joys & Perils Of Winter

80cm of snow in 10 days, equivalent to the whole of last winter.
Going to the forest at the crack of dawn each morning to enjoy the coldest temperatures.
Seeing how the world changes every day, and taking photos.
Experiencing spectacular hard frosts.
Blowing snow.
Breath freezing on my coat.
Shovelling half a metre of snow off the balcony so it doesn't flood the apartment when it melts.
Wading through snow and falling into it while measuring it.
Falling over twice on black ice in one evening: once in the road and once on some steps.
Waking up on New Year's morning to see another 7cm of snow and the trees are white once more.
Photos are here
Enjoy.
