Up until today, which is sunny though cold, we seemed to get a new coating of the white stuff every single day, which was great when it was a novelty, but now is just making me feel housebound and isolated. I did force myself out early yesterday morning for a walk though and I am glad I did. I went to the English Garden, my normal summer spot to relax, and enjoyed the still and snowy morning. There were a few people out with their dogs, and one or two folks on their bikes. These Germans do not let the snow stop them at all. They are efficient at cleaning the streets and sidewalks and I have never seen anything here that could even remotely compare to the total confusion that arises in South Jersey when any amount of snow falls.
