I was really hoping that this winter wouldn’t be as crazy as all those winters before! You are probably laughing right now. Yes, I know that we are living in the Alps and that snow, Winter and the Alps go hand in hand. But one can hope…
Ich hatte grosse Hoffnungen das dieser Winter nicht so verrueckt werden wuerde wie all die Winter zuvor! Ich weiss du lachst jetzt. Ja, ich weiss das wir in den Alpen leben und das Schnee, Winter und die Alpen Hand in Hand gehen. Aber man darf doch hoffen…
There is also this old farmer’s saying that if we don’t have a significant amount of snow by “3 holy kings” day or 6th of January, that we would have a mild winter. And since we didn’t get much snow in November or December, I thought we were safe! But no! We started to get a foot of snow the day prior of the deadline! And it’s been snowing since!
Es gibt eine alte Bauernregel die besagt das wenn wir keinen richtigen Schneefall bis Heilige Drei Koenige oder 6. Januar haben , dann wird es ein milder Winter. Und weil wir nicht viel Schnee im November oder Dezember hatten, dachte ich das wir auf der sicheren Seite sind! Aber nein! Wir bekamen 55cm Schnee einen Tag vorm Schluss! Und seit dem schneit es!
This amount of snow was dumped on us the last 1.5 days! And according to the radio, the snow will continue to fall for the next 2 days!
Die Menge Schnee fiel in den letzten 1.5 Tagen! Und das Radio berichtet das wir weiterhin Schneefall haben fuer die naechsten 2 Tage!
Thank goodness for Martin though. He is taking care of all the shoveling! He does tease me every once in a while that he has a shovel with my name on it but never really follows through! HAHAHA
Aber Gott sei Dank fuer Martin. Er schaufelt alles alleine! Er aergert mich aber ab und zu das er eine Schaufel mit meinem Name drauf hat! HAHAHA
Take care,
Me
