Winter came quick and hard in December 2009 for us Dutch people. They say that we’ve never seen as much snow for the past 35 years- woah ! And alot of snow it was indeed. I don’t mind snow myself you know, or the cold; I’ve always been resistant to the cold to a great degree but what i absolutely hate – is when trodden snow becomes ice on the streets and then the slippery slidey journey to and from work starts. I simply hate it, no longer can i sleep till the last second to make a run for the bus as i’d fall on my feet if I didn’t move like a snail. Going out drunk is a definite no-no and it’s just a complete hassle to move around in, especially when you carry a lot of (expensive) daily gear you definitly don’t wanna fall with.
Quite to the contrast with cars, cars are fine. Our roads are salted daily in the winters so usually you don’t see a spec of white on our roads and cars can cruise about their usual speed; whilst the poor pedestrians like me have to slide left and right with fear of falling down. Why the hell can’t they salt the pedestrian roads too , just hte main ones offcourse. It shouldn’t be that hard a task really as the main pedestrian roads are neatly lined up next to the car roads here.

The last few days it hasn’t snowed anymore, and thank god for that. I’ve already reached my breaking point last week when both public and regular transport were frozen to a standstill, and I was forced to walk 2 hours home trough a snow blizzard; needless to say I was sick the next morning.  Oh well, at least i’ve taken a few winter snaps last weekend; that’ll be the last of the winter snaps you`ll see from me for quite a while – this guy is staying inside this winter and giving his console gaming some much needed love haha !
