Early afternoon, on our way to Steinbach for my daughter’s horseback riding class, I took these photos from the car. Roads were pretty much deserted, as this weather and its forecasts are unpredictable. One forecast called for icy rain, another one for a drop in temperature to -15 C° tonight.

Our parking lot is a mess and the snow and ice keep piling up. It took us 20 minutes just to pull out of our space.

Shovels are in big demand right now and I predict they are sold out at most home improvement centers. Another moving truck got stuck on our parking lot yesterday evening. It took the truck about four hours to get out of its predicament.

The police might also get lucky in amounting masses of parking tickets. Good business for the German Ordnungsamt!

Its truly winter wonderland. I appreciate Germany and its four seasons and it is wonderful to see children having snowball fights and building snowmen. And as long as our heating system works, I will continue enjoying this winter season.
