Here in the Netherlands we have had 30-40 cm of snow during the past few days, and Thursday night the temperatures in Friesland fell to -20.5C, a new record low for March (where I live it only came down to about -15C). No big deal for Canadians and New-Englanders, but here it is. We had some more snow last night. It is absolutely wonderful. For many Dutch children this is the first time in their lives that they are able to build snowmen, have snowball fights etc., since the winters are usually very mild, rainy and dreary here, as this one has been up till now. I will be out and about this weekend, that's for sure!
