RE: Day Four: Seven Days of Black and White - A Challenge!
It was first snow here too and when I saw it this morning I just went back to bed and pretended I never saw anything. You can tell winter and I do not get along... unless I'm laying along the pavement cuz I can't manage a step lol
Hahaha That's funny! What part of the world are you in, @ivaneta?
From Bulgaria, but I moved to Sweden earlier this year. It's the first swedish winter for me and really it's not as bad as it is in Bulgaria. Even though it's a Balkan country so it's not up north, Bulgaria receives meters of snow all at once and at this time of year roads are mostly closed off. In Sweden right now there is a thin layer, at least for now. To bad summer is so short up here!
Woooow! I've seen pictures of snow like that, but I can't even begin to imagine how life goes on during the winter in an area like that!
The most I have seen in one area was around 55cm, but that was over the span of a few days.
it feels like life stops, to me. One of my most vivid memories is from the time I almost died probably. I was still in high school and we were let off till the winter got a bit more bearable. In those two or three weeks it snowed so much that if I would try to go outside in the garden the snow was taller than me. I'm talking over one meter and a half. There was this one time when I went out and when I closd the door behind me I made a few steps forward and next thing I know there is a huge pile of snow falling behind me and blocking the door. There was so much snow that it had piled up and sticking over the roof in somewhat of a spear. I had seen those form but none of them had ever fallen down in my presence. One step less and that thing would have fallen on me ..
Wooow! That is insane! Glad you are still around. :)
