Europe received a lot of snow this week. what had caused a “snow chaos” in Germany is just business as usual for the Moscovite drivers. Of course things went kinda slow last night and this morning in rush hour, but even though the snow comes early this year, Moscovites are prepared and its not at all chaotic. Maybe they are not that bad drivers at all? (see next article below).

This is the second large snowfall, we receive this season. Its all a bit early, cutting out most of the wet cold snow/rain weather, which is usual for this season, but nobody is unhappy about it. For me, these first snowfalls, especially when it dumps a few centimeters like last night, remind me very much of my childhood in Bavaria. I love the snow and the first dump was always a pleasurable moment. For some reason it still puts a long lasting smile on my face :-) even though im am not in a small Bavarian village, but in a metropol.

I guess its because this snow just makes everything look better. Moscow looks much brighter, much cleaner and much more mysterious. Almost like in a farytale. Its just too bad, that the clean white very soon will turn into some black-brownish something and eventually become wet dirty slush.
