Yeah, I saw that the Netherlands was forecast to get quite a bit of snow over the next few days. Hopefully @heywoodu will be able to snag a couple nice snowy photos for us.

Ah yes that's sand from the Sahara right?

There was the same phenomenon yesterday in the eastern part of France, the sky was orange and in the mountains the sand covered the snow.

First significant snowfall in one or two years and probably the first time in 5-6 years it actually will stay around for at least a week (forecasts are for it to not be over zero degrees until the end of February, including during sunny days ).

 

And the best of all, @brunamoura just finished a session of some fun and actual cross-country skiing right on the street in front of my house!  Literally on the evening before going to Austria for the season, timing could not have been better. Despite (of course) using her oldest and most shitty pair of skis, wrong poles, wrong gloves and not having any kind of prepared track, she said she felt great

Well, come the spring you’ll have to give it back.  They’re running short.

@NearPup You seem to have brought the Canadian weather down with you 

 

It snowed throughout Texas yesterday. Temperatures are insanely low for the part of the US. Snow was also forecast for parts of Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, North Carolina, etc.
