Germany week 22—Snow delay and enough basketball to last a
lifetime
Dear all:
On Thursday of this week we had a 2 hour delay for starting
school and work because of icy road conditions.
They called everyone and amazingly enough everyone came in exactly 2 hours late, buses, workers everyone. An amazing feat!!! It was nice coming into work late, but it didn’t matter I still had to
stay late for practice. I have posted
some pictures of the snow around our house.
We had actually planned on making a snow man today and sliding down the
hill beside our house but it rained all night and washed away the 3 inches of
snow that had built up, but I am sure
that I will have another chance later on.
Did not get a chance to go anywhere this weekend as I am
cheerleader assistant coach and we had games at school all weekend. 8 games Friday night and all day Saturday--Thirteen
hours in all. Then we came home and watched the FSU-Duke
game—YEA!!! FSU—It was impressive that the FSU game was chosen to air-- AFN only chooses the best TV, but it was a lot of basketball
all at one time.
Seems that these
schools have to travel so far that they just put them all in a weekend. Friday there was quite a delay as the bus couldn’t
traverse a large hill. That is one thing
with driving in snowy conditions you have to pay attention to hills. You don’t want to get stuck in the middle not
able to get up it or going out of control on the way down and falling in a
ditch.
One more observation about the Germans. They take their snow clearing seriously. People of all ages sweep sidewalks and walkways
clear and roads are cleared almost immediately.
They have it down to a science. I
have added pictures of our house snow covered and the roads cleared. Enjoy.
I discovered one more kind of snow. Dipping dots snow. It looks like dipping dots. Like Styrofoam balls landing on your lawn.
Anyway we are off for the movies at the base. Have a great week.
Hugs from Germany.
Susan
