Em Ingels.....because I am starting to feel pretty irritated about this winter!
First of all on the positive side: imagens fantasticos de Espanha, Austria e França!!!
But in the SW of Holland, we are unlucky to extremely unfortunate. I am unlucky. I have a 2-3 cm snowcover and yes, it is snowing all morning and yes, temperatures are below zero (just, now) and have been below zero four 4 consecutive days, which is oke. But for snow, this is not our winter. Temperature were always okey for snow when we just didn't het it. Every time, whether it were snowshowers from the North sea or snowfronts from the east or low pressure with snowclusters from the north....all these areas with precipitation stopped just 10-40 km for our borders (of my province). They just dissolved...Yesterday it happened again and today, heavy snowshowers developped over the east and intensified on their trip to the west (me) and again, at 20-40 km for our borders they again dissolve. In the North, they have incredible amounts of snow even though temperatures were higher and even a bit above zero (like now!)....
Can it be worse?! Yes. In western Belgium everything has remained green this January...poor souls...and we have an area which is officially called The Green Heart of Holland...now they know why...;-) Sorry for them nevertheless..
So here is what I am missing.
EDIT: well, it snowed this afternoon so we received another 0,5 cm on top of the grandiose 3 cm...Anyways: still below zero (-0,6 C). And this is the 9th consecutive day with a snowcover. This winter until now total 18 of those days. We'll add a couple more and then thaw is coming in or it isn't....
WOuld be okay for a small period with 0 at nigth and +5 at day. And then: lets start all over again, but with a more even snowcover all over The Netherlands...
