It snowed in Plochingen last day. I opened the window and lo! there it was like a dream, from a fairy tale. Beautiful! I walked out first with a group then again alone. It was freezing. But it was such an amazing experience that I stayed out for as long as I could. Walking alone in the night while it was snowing…
I remember an ad I saw long time ago on the idiot box – showing the joy of someone who had seen snowfall for the first time. It was exactly how I felt – like an innocent child playing with a new toy. A grown up kid living the dream he had forever… The Germans around us must have been thinking we must be crazy. Grown up boys and girls – “software engineers” – in their true color.. he he.. Feeling something for the first time brings in a lot of emotions difficult to describe… but simply in 3 letters… WOW!
Aside: I hear all this romanticizing of snow lasts only for a week or two. When the cold gets to your spine people say romance turns to discomfort to irritation to anger to submission! 
Oh lord, it is predicted to go down to -10°. Best of luck to me!

So the first snowfall of the year…
couldn’t get hold of that idiot yet…grrr….)
Me too enjoyed it a lot…!
Was awesome experience especially when you don’t have a jacket and somebody pulls you out and slides a ball of snow down you shirt…
