Oh Andreas... I can feel with you... Normally I love snow ( quite contrary to my husband, who always says winter is no season at all, its only good for cold feet and way to short days), but snow this early is no fun, especially if it means to get up even earlier than normal, cleanup your car, drive real slow and careful and having to work 52 hours for the weekend... Maybe it helps a bit to know that there are other parts of the world not so far away, who have the same seasonal problems... The pic below was taken in January 05 in our front yard... the little black pin is the rear windscreen wiper of a car... So wishing you all the best for a safe trip and a save return to your home and RR!
