Snow days are here to stay

Don't let anyone fool you; snow, when having to go to work in it, is not fun!

So, about a week ago the Czech Republic, well Prague actually, received about 2 1/2 feet of snow in one weekend. This is more than Prague has received in more than 20 years!!! Needless to say getting to work on Monday was nothing short of a National Disaster! Public transportation was running late, or in my case, not at all. Roads were shut, snow was falling off roofs and onto people. This, I must admit is really funny as long as it doesn't happen to you or anywhere near you. The poor Czech woman that this happened to was covered in snow and had to dump the entire contents of her purse out just to get the snow out. I snickered but i was a good 10 feet away so i think i got away with it.

Below are some pictures from that weekend when the snow refused to stop. The first picture is a person enjoying a little cross country ski action, since you know, we live in the middle of the city and the snow was so deep this was the old mode of transportation that was actually working. Typical.

WEEEEEE... Skiing is fun!

The next two pictures is just to prove how much freaking snow was actually on the balcony. We built, Dave and I, a snow man, but we had to prop him up against the door because he was too powdery to mold into anything snow man like.

Stylish and Cold. Snow!

Kisses for the snow man!

We still have about a foot on the ground. Luckily, Prague has finally got the snow situation under control and has put more salt on the roads than is probably necessary, but it's keeping it from sticking for periods longer than evening. But on some positive news; I was told today that we have had sunshine for 20 consecutive days, which is also more than Prague has had in over 5 years... so... that's at least an improvement over the snow! Sunshine!!!!!!!!!!!!
