Snows

[janestarz]

Last weekend the weather turned cold (after a very mild and very wet streak) and winter was finally here. It started snowing yesterday afternoon and already the NS train service was in a panic. I received an e-mail they would run "a special alternate service" today because of the expected weather.

This morning at half past eight there was a total of 1000 kilometers of traffic standing still on our roads. That's quite an accomplishment for such a small country! Near here, the A59 was just standing still from Hooipolder to Den Bosch, a 30 kilometer stretch of road. I heard it was worse in other places where there was 40 kilometers of traffic just standing still...

This also explains why it is so cold inside the house despite the meter saying it's 18.5°C. It's an old house and warmth just leaks out of the floors and the roof. Our livingroom and the atelier are the only rooms that need to be warm, and our bedroom needs to be cold or I can't sleep. Warmth just disappears.

Nearly finished my homework, I will do the handsewing of the selvedge ribbon down the center front of the interfacing next and work on a nifty hat for Badger's Business.
