Winter Wonderland


We had very unusual weather last week in Morges. Typically – I say ‘typically’ but it means based on the past two winters we’ve been here – we get an occasional dusting of snow. Nothing more than a few inches. Our winters tend to be more on the rainy side because we’re next to Lake Geneva. If we want snow, we have to go find it, which means a short drive into the mountains. This was not the case last week! On Wednesday it snowed all day. We had more than a foot by the end of the day. Here’s a picture courtesy of our neighbor, Christina. It’s from their bedroom window, which would be the same view as ours. As beautiful as the snow was, it quickly turned into a big ol’ mess. The Swiss are very efficient about a lot of things but snow removal, at least in our town, is not one of them. Snow and ice still cover most of the sidewalks. It’s like a skating rink out there. The temperature is warming back up and it’s raining outside today, so I think our snow will soon be gone.
