Let it snow…
… or at least that is what we are all hoping. I had thought of maybe getting in a weekend of skiing before Christmas, or maybe just a day trip, the disconcerting news is that to get down a slope right now I would have to bring a 4×4. Or hike. See, even though it’s December and the Alps should be getting all Alpine, there is no snow in Switzerland. Although the Swiss ski resorts are in denial and have opened anyway (they are even holding ski jumping competitions), it is actually not snowing but raining in the Alps.
November is always kind of an in-between month, too cold and dark for hiking and no snow for skiing. But now, it’s December. Come on now. We got the snow tires for the car. We even bought snow chains. It’s time to get back into the shuss of things.

I wouldn’t mind a few snowflakes. I guess we’ll have more than our share at Christmas in Canada, though. Ahhh. A white Christmas again!

Really. We haven’t had a single flake here either but the bone-chilling cold is starting to set in.
