I like metric, especially when the numbers sound more impressive. Somehow 8 cm of snow sounds much more wintry than 3.1 inches. We’ve received two days of snow that kissed the trees and the faded flowers, but left the sidewalks and streets clear. This is a win-win; beautiful, and low maintenance.
During the snowstorm yesterday afternoon, Eagle and I walked at Picnic Point by Lake Mendota on a field trip with their middle school class. Photos of the snow:
Our garden was a fairyland of flocked asters gone to seed.
Thanks to Becky B. for hosting the WalkingSquares!

In Lahore it’s quite pleasant. We get a couple of weeks of really cold weather in late December or early January.

I’ll ask you too, Sadje. How cold is really cold? 5C, 0C? 🙂

It really touches 0*C! Mostly 2-3 C. It’s a temperate place, more towards hot than cold.

I think the word rarely was autocorrected for you 🙂 2-3C is decently cold, especially for a place that is more often a hot climate.

Yup, autocorrect has a mind of its own. It’s a very short winter. 2-3 weeks. By February we are thinking of summer clothes.

We often have snow in November. I think of it as the beginning of winter, rather than the December equinox. The city has a fleet of snow plows and life goes on as normal! This minor snow didn’t require plowing.
