Snow, Snow-Figures and Cold

We returned to Leipzig from the US under a cloudless day last Saturday. The weather was cool and there was a little bit of snow on the ground and ice crystals on the trees. Then overnight we were pummeled with what the natives say was the heaviest snow in 10 years. I took a long walk in the park last Sunday night and took a few photos of snowmen (and snow-women) that were built during the day.



Since the snow, it's been really cold - around -20 C most nights which is borderline for even a modern diesel engine to start. Luckily my car is in the basement garage where it stays a few degrees warmer and I haven't had a problem getting going in the morning (well, at least getting the car going.)
