paradies

I'm living in the metropolitan area of Washington, DC. We had a crazy winter, one day arctic cold, the next day t-shirt weather. There was very little snow this year, most of the big storms went just a little north from us. I enjoy winter, until it is not creating issues, like traffic jam or loss of electricity. When I grew up as a kid in norther Romania (not too far from Ukrainian border), we had a lot of snow and I remember walking to school in 50cm fresh snow. My teenage years I spent in southern Germany, and we had quite a good amount of snow, just enough to enjoy, but there were also times with 15 to 20 deg C during Christmas.
