Super-Duper Wacky n' Tacky Euro Adventure

Congratulations! For some reason, every Russian says congratulations when the first snow of the season happens. Happy days! I was honestly waiting for Wed. ever since I saw the first forecasts a week earlier saying that there was even a chance of the first snow. And it did not dissapoint. As soon as I exited the metro at 9:30 AM. it began and did not stop until 5:00 PM. 2-4 inches was forecast, but I think it exceeded that total. I would say 5-6 inches for sure. But as soon as it stopped it all started to melt. Sadness. Today you can barely tell the streets were covered in ice less than 24 hours ago. Hopefully it won't be that long before the next snow, but for now, just ugly rain. If there is anything I learned from yesterday is that a) I have to live in more cold weather climates before I die and b) Tennis shoes are not good for snow. Today I'm going to address one of these situations at my local SportMaster Diskont. Yay excuses to shop!
