First Snow

The temperatures have definitely dropped over here. The "feels like" temperature for yesterday morning was -15 degrees Celsius. It was unbearably cold outside- so cold, that one of my friends went to unlock her bike and the key snapped inside the lock. Which meant her normally 10 minute bike ride turned into a 30 minute walk in conditions that snap metal. The good thing about these temperatures is SNOW! What was previously constant rain is now constant flurries, which puts me in a much better mood.

Beach by my house



It's been funny talking to other exchange students about the snow... a lot of them haven't ever seen snow. One of my friends from Cyprus is included in this group, and he just stands outside staring into the air in awe of it. Luckily for them it seems like there is plenty more to come. I'm just waiting for the canals to freeze over so I can ice skate on them and the pond in front of the Parliament building! I'm sure I'll have some more snowy pictures of Leiden to share soon.
