That’s a lot of snow, isn’t it? Well… not really. Only a lot of photos I’ve taken during the only two snow days we had this winter. Yes, all the photos in the series were taken in the space of two days.

I’m walking by the surprisingly calm sea on this beautiful, sunny, unseasonably warm Christmas day when I hear myself say something quite unexpected. I miss the cold. And it’s true. I haven’t moved to a warmer climate. I’m still living in a four season area where winters used to be cold, really cold… Emphasis on “used to be”…
It’s not like I particularly like the cold, but I am used to it. It’s not like I’m not occasionally bothered by all its downsides, but I can handle them quite well. We haven’t had a real winter here by the sea for several years and yes, I do miss it. I never thought I would, but here I am, nostalgically reminiscing about white holidays, frozen lakes and snow fights.

The Luxury of Snow
Sleeping in on a late autumn Sunday… then lazily leaving that cosy cocoon to open the shutters only to see… snow! Beautiful, wonderful snow! A flurry of big fluffy snowflakes floating in the wind! Sometimes that’s all it takes to have a perfect day.
They said that it would snow… but I kept my expectations low; after all, they had been wrong about it so many times.
Truth be told, I have no words to tell you how much I’ve missed snow… we’ve been getting so little of it over the past few years, that I’m starting to forget what it feels like. That’s why I was so excited about what wasn’t even that impressive an amount of snow. It’s still better than nothing. And it’s still more than we had last winter.
