Snow! We have had over one foot of snow here in Prague over the past week. This came close to breaking a 50 year record. Children and skiers are delighted. Drivers and commuters have experienced a lot of frustration. Snow doesn't usually stay around too long, so snow removal has been slow and the roads and sidewalks are still being cleared. For example, Max's regular commute to school by city bus usually takes us about 25 minutes, but took an hour last Monday morning as traffic was snarled.
The city is beautiful in the snow. Here are some pictures of the city that we took on a walk to Charles Bridge last weekend.
Prague is built on river bluffs, so there are plenty of good places to sled. Max and Katrina have had fun on Petrin Hill. The temperatures have been quite mild, though, especially compared to Minnesota, and hover just below the freezing mark.
We also have a new 5 year old. We celebrated Katrina's 5th birthday on Sunday with chocolate cake and vanilla ice cream. While Max was out on the sledding hill, she opted to stay inside and play with her new toys. Stay warm,everyone.
