When I woke up today and looked though the window, I had a very nice surprise: there were already more than five centimetres of snow outside — and it was still snowing. Since a few days ago I was complaining about missing the autumn colours, I suppose the Mighty Dutch Weather decided to make me happy with some of the season’s goodies — snow and frost. The traffic was terrible to say the least, everywhere there were blocked roads and snowed trams, the side-walks were dangerously slippery… but I ended up really enjoying it, seeing the large snowflakes slowly drifting towards the earth really made my day!
