Es schneit!

Yes, the snow has finally reached us. Well, a little bit. Don't get me wrong, being from London I was ready to get out my snow boots for the 2mm maximum of snow that fell today, but no one here seems phased by it. When  I pointed to the small flakes of snow which were falling as we ate lunch and asked "Ist das Schnee?", I was met only by laughter and a blunt "Nein". Later when I asked Joanne if she thought it was likely to keep snowing, she said that this is nothing to people here. From what I understand, they get quite a bit of snow here sometimes, so this is pretty standard for the students, and certainly isn't anything of interest. That didn't stop me taking a few pictures as I walked home from work though. Enjoy!
