Mother Nature's dandruff

It took almost 2 weeks for practically all the snow to melt and in a matter of hours all of that effort went to waste.

It started around lunch time yesterday and now everything is covered in a soft powder-like white blanket of snow.

But today i was up at 4:30am because J had to start work at 6am. As usual i did the breakfast routine and made some fresh coffee. I packed a few butter milk rolls with Gouda cheese, chocolate digestive cookies and a small Tupperware filled with roasted almonds so i wouldn't starve in German class later.

My stomach is forever growling and making noise in the morning, and no amount of paper rustling or chair shifting can mask its' presence. And the more i ignore it, the louder it seems to get. There was a pregnant lady in our class who used to sit next to me last time and would always give me fruits and chocolate during class, i wonder if she actually thought i wasn't eating enough or maybe she just didn't like her food and wanted to get rid of it? Having no shame, i gladly ate her food. Well we've stocked up on our food supply so now i have at least something to offer her.


So anyway, i offered to help J scrape the snow off the car since i knew it would take some time and he couldn't be late for work. I threw on whatever i could find and made my way outside. I was surprised how much there was. I reckon there was about 2 inches of snow.


And according to the Weatherman it's going to be snowing for most of the week. But i have to admit though, when the snow was gone for that short period of time, i did miss it. Yes, i know i may have bitched and moaned that it was freezing but then again, the last time i had switched off the heaters and cooled down the apartment to a bitter 5˙C. And later feared that i was developing hypothermia because it took a few days for the temperature to climb above 15˙C.

Fingers crossed that the bus routes are working today and that the sidewalks have been already cleared of snow. Because falling over is not an option!
