First snow!

[rhialto]

This morning it was snowing! Not just a little bit, but quite hard. Fortunately it was a bit less while I was cycling to work, but after that it started in earnest. By lunchtime it had stopped, and we had some 4 cm of snow in most places - more where it had been collected by the wind. It was quite strange to have plenty of green trees (apart from the snow on top of them that is) in the white landscape. By nightfall there were lots more leaves on the streets than yesterday, even though most of the snow had gone by then. But even so, the snow is incredibly early this year.
