As a kid, I used to wonder how it's like behind the freezer doors when it closed in on you. Well I got my answers now.

Last weekend it was snowing continuously, with snowfall of about 50cm here in Pardubice. My colleague said that it has never snowed this much in the last 10 years since she's lived here. '09 has been rather odd though. It was cold and rainy in summer, and there was a day or two when the snow fell in October. So I am not too surprised of the current conditions.

Well, I like the snow, as long as it's still snow. Now the temperature is just about 0°C, the snow is melting and freezing again, turning into ice. That's when walking gets tricky.

Some news about the snowfall...

Well I went out to take some photos anyway, just to let you see. (And to test out my new DSLR. :)) Snow is pretty when viewed in a photograph, in the comfort of a warm couch. Being out there while I was taking these pics was a slightly different story. :)
