I've been trying to remember if we've ever had a winter like this in Westphalia - not just a few hours of snowfall that leave just enough sleet on the streets to be a pain in the ass, but actual snow for weeks in a row, snow you can do something with. I saw some people on skis as I was running my trusty route! Ski envy, man. Running was nice too, the packed snow made a good surface, and everything is nicely bright. It helps that there're barely any cars on the road, and now that the city is running out of salt, they only clear the main roads so the rest of the city is white and shiny.
The media hype was ridiculous. I'm so glad my cable isn't even connected and I can at least avoid all those special bulletins about blizzards and snow chaos, complete with suggestions to raid the supermarkets and stockpile food wtf, so people can work up a good nice panic because of 30 centimeters of snow and a few gusts of wind. [okay, it looks like the North was hit quiet a bit more than we were.]
I'm glad I work from home, though. Some intrepic people are riding their bikes through that, but since I did that involuntary stunt last week, I've become suspicious of icy roads. Think I'll walk today.
