Snow? Us, snow? You must be mistaken... actually we DID get some snow this year - and immediately prayed for it to melt. Because, for some reason, the snow had gotten packed by the many cars and pedestrians, melted slightly, then froze into ice. After that, we had max temperatures of -5 degrees celsius for a few weeks, so we had solid ice all over the streets. It's finally begun to melt, but just last week, there were places in the city where simply WALKING could be classified as suicide, and riding a bike was out of the question *thinks of a certain ice-covered hill on the way to piano lesson...*
