The first snow fell yesterday night. The national weather service talks about people stuck on roads and trains as a snow storm swept in over the country. I noticed rather little, except that the wind was blowing strong last night. But as I got out of bed this morning, the entire country was swept in a nice, white, frosty cover of snow.
Since buying my new, heavy winter coat, I no longer dread the snow. In fact, it’s rather welcome. Now everything is bright white again, and the cold wind tears my face and hands. Just the way it should be.
Since this is early November, I expect most of it to melt away shortly. Most of the real snow comes in December. But it’s nice while it lasts.
My cellphone camera doesn’t really do it justice though.

I am usually never homesick but I admit I got some tears in my eyes from those pictures. It snows in Bosnia and
Croatia too. In fact it might snow this very week, but it is simply not the same. People here fear the
snow believing it will damage their health, leaving me entirely alone in my love for the first snow. (Yes, it
is true they think it will make them sick. When it’s snowing here people act as though they are being
attacked with heavy artillery from above and run to take cover.)
I always love the first snow fall..
