Outside my work room at 08:24If you haven't heard already, many northern parts of Europe have been hit by massive snow storms. Airports have been shut down for the last two days. Many highways and roads are iced over causing accidents to pop up right, left and centre. I even heard on the radio yesterday they calculated a total of 330 km worth of traffic jams in Germany.
Absolute madness and definitely not the best time to be on the road.
As for the temperatures, Berlin was said to have reached a miserable -20˚Celsius last night - and that's just the core temperature, one didn't factor in the wind temperature.
Ouch!
We, as in the town that i'm in, suffered only -9˚C. Last year i learned my lesson NOT to switch off the heaters during Winter... ever! So now the apartment is a comfortable 19˚C, well that's what it says on the clock thermometer in the bathroom.
But it looks like it'll be getting warmer this weekend and by warmer i mean hovering around the 0˚C mark. Still quite frosty but the kind of weather you can go about your business without going numb.

Slushee, anyone?So apart from my keen interest in the weather and trying not to get too distracted from work, my other new obsession is keying in the address' of potential homes in Google Maps and taking advantage of their Panoramic feature. Some people may bitch that it's an intrusion of privacy.
But i don't.
Been There... Done That... Will Do It Again!
I can't get over how cool it is. It's like being there but not. Ya know what i mean?
Seeing a true to life perspective of a surrounding area not only prepares me mentally for what there is to come but by orientating myself, i don't feel so much like a fish out of water. I'm not so much of a fan of surprises. Especially since we have to travel 170 km to get there, it's nice to arrive and know what to expect.
Anyway, J and i have a strong liking towards one of the apartments we'll be seeing on Saturday.
In fact, it was one of the very first apartments i saw but only now they're taking on appointments. The real estate guy says we're the first people to see the place. I so hope that's true since that could mean are chances of getting the place is higher.
But then again, what's a little competition in life to make an experience just that little bit more exciting.
One more day... ONE MORE DAY!
But i don't.
