At 21 years old, I wouldn’t call myself old, but I’m increasingly saddened by the fact that in recent years we haven’t had a white Christmas at all. In the past, there was huge snow at Christmas, we spent the whole day out in the garden while Little Jesus brought the tree and the presents. Nowadays there’s no snow, and even Little Jesus needs help.

It is interesting though, that a week ago there were spring thunderstorms across the country, with massive lightning, then spring-like weather on December 22nd, spiced up with ten-something degrees, sunshine and blue skies. It seems that winter is becoming more erratic and shifting. It was interesting to see snowfall on March 15th, which as far as I can remember never happened before.

Slowly we’ll really be sculpting the Easter bunny out of snow, and the snowman can be renamed to mudman.

 

UPDATE: The first snow finally fell, admittedly only over a small area, but it’s here 🙂
