Picspam: Dresden in the snow

[dieastra]

At the moment I have 20 cm of snow on my balkony, and counting. It's snowed for the past few days now. Since Dresden is situated deep in a valley, usually the snow thaws away quickly, so I always love when it stays a bit longer.
I just realized that I never posted the pictures from the year 2010, when we had even more and the trams, busses, trains and planes got into serious trouble. But I hope I caught the beautiful side of it! So I want to show you how beautiful Dresden looks in the snow.
If you are interested in seeing even more Dresden in the snow, here are some more pictures when the Doctor visited me last year: http://dieastra.livejournal.com/39239.html

And now enjoy and don't forget to click the LJ cut to see all pictures!







Almost 30 centimeter, that's like 12 inches.

I can honestly say that I have never made snow angels in my life. I have no idea whether it is just not usual in my family or if we want to go political and bring up the upbringing in the GDR again? Because surely, angels were not something that existed. They even went as far as to rename the wooden Christmas Angels we put up at Christmas time "End of the year wooden figures with wings" just so they didn't have to call them angels.

Or maybe it's just an American thing? I have to ask my Western German friends about it.

Then again, I guess my mother wouldn't have been too fond of me lying in the snow making the clothes wet ;)

Thank you, glad you like them! I remember I wanted them to post back then but then the snow had thawed away and somehow it did not seem to be fitting anymore. I'm glad that you reminded me of them!

I had no idea. I used to do it when we I was a kid and it snowed enough to cover the ground because it was the only time my parents would let me roll around on the ground. Mostly, I just made snowmen and had snowball fights with my dad.
