Snowstorm in Denmark - with pics

[Randi]

We had quite a bit of snow saturday night, so it looked beautiful sunday morning. Fister still wanted to go down in the yard, but as he stepped out in it, he changed his mind. LOL! This first picture is taken out of my kitchen window.

I wanted to go for walk at the churchyard. Here’s a view towards John’s grave.

On top what we already got, this afternoon, more snow came down, in fact we have a snow storm which is moving west now. Police have advised people not to drive unless it’s absolutely neccesary. One man had heart problems and the military had to go in front of the ambulance to clear the road. They later said he’s doing OK. :)

Some schools are closed and I’m sure the kids are thrilled about that. :D

It's amazing how black and white pictures look after a fresh snowfall! Very nice.

Wonderful pictures - thanks so much for sharing them :)

The world is so peaceful when covered with snow.

[Barbara]

It looks very similar here these days. Such a wonderful churchyard in the snow is special.

Randi, those pictures are beautiful! Did you have snow in early January too, like we did here in the UK?

[Karen]

Such pretty pictures, thank for sharing! The statue looks like he's holding his arms close to stay warm!

I had to look it up.....Great idea and I love the tech behind it!:D

It took a couple of pictures before I realized these are color photos, not sepia-toned black and white. Beautiful! Thank you for sharing.

I love looking at the snow.... on the computer monitor in my warm house!

They are really beautiful pictures! Loved them, thanks for posting them.

Thanks for your comments. :)

Miss Z, yes we got quite a bit in January too, and it was freezing cold! I think many parts of Europe got their fair share this year! They have run out of salt and is now only clearing narrow walking paths. I normally cycle when I do my shopping, but that's out of the question. I've had enough for this winter!

Richard, those bicycles became very popular here about 15-20 years ago, people put their kids and groceries in them, and they're actually very easy to manuevre around. I once borrowed one to take Fister to the vet. The model on the picture is a little smarter than the common one, called "Christiania bike".

This is the classic one: http://www.christianiabikes.com/dansk/dk_main.htm

Randi, those are terrific pictures. It looks soooo cold!!

The statue looks as though he is wearing an ermine hat and cape. He still looks cold though.

I would imagine about now that you have said ENOUGH snow! It must be difficult for you to get out and do your shopping.

:love:

[Miss Z]

I've had enough for this winter!



I hear you on that one!

It's currently snowing here - I wonder if it is the same storm you had that has blown over the Channel? Seems to be settling fast - looks like I'll be fetching out wellington boots again for school tomorrow!
