Snow day

It's been over twenty years since this much snow fell in the Netherlands. The northern provinces of Friesland, Groningen and Drenthe sometimes recorded twenty inches of snow, which for Dutch measures is quite a lot. In Amsterdam, we had about 4 to 8 inches, depending on where you were.

So I grabbed my camera and took some pictures. (All of them can be enlarged by clicking on them.)

Unfortunately, I can't show you any shots of my near-collisions due to excessive slipperiness (I was too busy trying to avoid said near-collisions becoming actual ones).

So I guess this migratory polar bear will have to do.

A small footbridge near the Eramus Park. Funny how snow makes it look impressive.

The first snow this particular bear has seen in a long time.

There must be a car under here. Somewhere.

I don't know why, but somehow, this picture radiates tranquility.

Oh, by the way, I was kidding yesterday when I made a reference to the alleged greenhouse effect and the current weather. Turns out there's actually a meteorologist who is making the case.
