May the peace and joy of the holiday season be with you throughout the coming year.

Winter Wonderland in Wassenaar

It will be a white Christmas in Wassenaar this year. It's been below freezing since the middle of last week and the rain showers have become snow showers. Finally on Sunday, December 20 there was significant accumulation (~3")and Wassenaar became a lovely winter wonderland. With the Netherlands getting little to no snow most winters, they don't have much of a game plan for snow removal, so 3" is about as devastating as getting 2'. More snow is on the way, so I'm glad the grocery store is within walking distance. Biking is not an option and even the public transportation is either delayed or cancelled.

Nice photos of the snow. Enjoyed the windmill shot in particular. The Rome trip sounds great too.
