[scottishlass]

I don't frelling believe it ... we had our first snow today. Given it was just more sleat than snow but holy heck, it was so frelling cold. And of course I happened to be out and about with the dogs when it happened. I don't mind the occasional drizzle, but when it turns to snow so eaarly in the year ... yuck!

Congrats with the first snow! All seasons of a year have precious in their own way. :)

We here, in Moscow, had the fist snow last Sunday.

Well it wasn't full blown snow but it was white, frozen and feel from the skies so it was snow in a sense even though it didn't stay on the ground but melted immediately.

I wish we had real snow again. Last time was in the mid 1990's. For almost two weeks we had snow everywhere, traffic almost came to a standstill and it was so bitterly cold.

Our first snow this time melted in 2 days... :)

Still not a time for real snow in my city.

We get used to snow for 5 months in a year (or even more - normally the time for real snow is mid November and it melts completely only in mid April.

WTH snow in DDorf in October??? O_O
I sure hope it came down as rain in Cologne... Or my belief in my hometown's climate will be shattered... Go away with the snow >.<
Here it's freaking cold already T_T

Ich glaube es gab leichten Schneeregen auch in Köln :P

But it is true, the weather is so weird lately. The summer was no summer, and now autumn is almost non-existent and already turns into winter :(

No snow in Cologne - but very heavy rain and extremly cold. I wasn't prepared for that a have been freezing all day. And it doesn't look much better for the rest of the weekend.

I'm so jealous! I've seen snow probably three times in my whole life! 80

I could say the same for the last ten years. We don't get this much snow anymore :( If we are lucky it will leave a powder coating of tiny snow crystals on the ground for an hour before everything melts :(

Snow! I haven't touched snow in over 3 years :)

Dito :) The last time it snowed and stayed on the ground was in February and I was in hospital. By the time I had unkooked the IV and dressed it was all gone :(

Oh! Snow! None yet here, though it has become quite cold, and they announced the first snow on the radio this morning, but only for the higher regions of the Black Forest. Last night when I came out of my Hindi class it was so cold that I realized I urgently have to finish my scarf now!

Then you should speed up the knitting! :)
today it is really cold so that at least chica was wearing her little coat - she looks adorable but it is necessary as she already froze the last couple of days while going on a walk. As she doesn't jump and run but walks sedately along with me, while Cenour is always in action, schnupper hier, schnupper da, mal zurück wieder vor ... and Chica just watches - probably thinking: Oh for crissake, hurry up, will ya?!

schnupper hier, schnupper da, mal zurück wieder vor ...

LOL, bless him! :)

He has to greet every single gras root he encounters, everything has to be snuffled out, tree, bush, grass blade, he has to say hello to all. For a trip I need about 5 minutes with chica alone tends to stretch into 15 to 20 minutes with him along :D

First snow!!! Wow! Here we're still with a nice weather, not cold not hot (but we haven't even put on a light coat or anything :S) I don't need snow right now, but a bit colder, I wouldn't mind... I'm not a summer person and it doesn't look like real autumn here yet.
