Winter (Spring) wonderland!



We got hammered with snow over the past 2 days. This storm was enough to even impress us "Garrett Countian's"...close to 10 inches (25 cm). It is apparently pretty rare to get this kind of snow here in Haarlem. But oddly enough, everyone brought out sleds and started dragging their little ones around the streets ... remember, this is pancake flat Holland ... the closest sledding hill is in the dunes and the roads were atrocious.

Gangs of "snowball hooligans" were all through the streets and the bikers never seemed to even flinch at pedaling on the icy, snowpacked roads....very impressive.

These views are from our third floor bedroom - front and back. Pretty close quarters...about as different as you can get from our place back in the mountains of Maryland!
