So the fear expressed in my previous post, came to reality–actually it came to reality many times, but at least one time there was a blogger who heard the event and photographed the aftermath! OK Copito is a Spanish-language blog based here in Weimar–and as the author was hard at work yesterday, she he heard [...]
The fact is that it’s been both a cold and a snowy winter here in Weimar and after a lot of snow fell earlier this season—really last year—it’s stuck around. There was a period of time when I wouldn’t leave my house without wearing my aforementioned thick socks and my heavy boots because not only [...]
In case you didn’t know, last weekend Germany was cold—very cold. Cold enough that the hot water tap in my kitchen froze Friday night and Saturday night the cold water tap in my kitchen froze. I chalk it up to a combination of the -16C/3F temperatures and what is likely poor insulation in the walls [...]

Anyhow, I got up early this morning—5:30 early, the second day in a row that I’ve woken up at that time. It’s actually progress because the previous two days, I woke [...]
The weather in Weimar has taken a definite turn for the worse. Today it was overcast and windy with periods of light rain. It was also fairly cool out—no more summer weight jackets when venturing out. People were bundled up walking down the street. Rather than spend my day out, I stayed in most of [...]
As MT has already noted, Denver is getting socked with another blizzard: anywhere from 12 to 24 inches of snow are expected in the next day or so. This snow is falling on top of the snow that is already there: in the case of my folk’s house, I would estimate that we currently have [...]
