Oh, noooo............

Sitting here in southern California praying for rain. I feel your pain. LOL

That does look VERY cold, Gitte. I feel for you...BRRRRR....

But don't worry, I'll post a picture from Baltimore in the middle of summer when it's so hot and humid that you're dripping with sweat just walking to your car...and then hopefully you'll feel a lot better there in Denmark.

You poor thing, Gitte, but shouldn't you be used to that kind of freezing weather by now? I do, however, feel sorry for you because I truly hate the winter too. I used to experience real cold winters when I lived in New York, but that was so many years ago, and I really can't remember the feeling of walking outside and having my nose freeze.

Gitte, we too are experiencing a cold snap at the moment, some places were -6 overnight but as yet we have only had a ground frost. I just love the first few days of snowfall but hate it when it turns hard and very icy.

Here in Ohio we would have school children hoping for a "snow day." This means no school because the school doesn't want high school students or buses out driving. Do other countries have things like "snow days?"

[Anne]

Similar things are decided locally in France only when the snow (or snow forecast) is so high that the school buses may not be able to drive .
Like I live in an area where it snows often enough during the Winter, yet we've never had any "snow day" for the twelve years that I've lived here .

[andi]

Yes we have similar here too, when snow falls we have to listen to local radio which announces which schools are open and which are closed. It used to be because the school generators had broken down and the school would be cold but now I think that the first hint of a flake and they shut them down anyway

We have snow days here when there is more then a few inches,, no one here owns snow tires , and our roads tend to be curvy and hilly, so even people who have moved here from the colder parts of Canada and say " they know how to drive in the snow" get a nasty surprise here,,, melts in day, freezes at night.

We rarely get snow, maybe once a year for a few days, it is very exciting , I love snow,, but, I must say I love it till Dec. 31 st and then I expect it to be spring. ( it IS spring here by Feb)
