Finally...the spring has come...or, as they said on the radio, "the first summer day"...
Sunny all day long, warm...beautiful...really beautiful...!
Temperature up to 23 degrees...of course the hottest of 2008 so far...I also had my first ice cream of the season...! :)
Funny that these days always come when you have to spend the whole time
in...We just come from 3 days at home...3 dull days with some rain as
well...
I have taken a picture from my window just a minute ago...now though I am going to enjoy the sunshine at the Downs...
Bbbbbyyyyyyeeeeee...!!!!!!!!!
A month ago...just a month ago...on the 6th of April it was snowing instead...
Is it worth to wait an entire night, awake, to see a snowfall?
I bet you think it is insane. I bet in fact every one thinks it is insane. Well...not me...!
No one can understand...I know...but this is something that really gives me emotions...big emotions...
You can give snow a few hours of your sleep, cos what you get back is priceless...
The days before...the beauty of the wait...checking weather charts,
checking every possible update, looking for confirmation from different
models... until the hours before the events come, when it is time to
look at satellite images and rainfall radar...and eventually out of the
window...in silence...concentrated...ready to spot the fist flakes
falling from the sky...and then another one and one more...and a smile
appears...and you feel happy...I just love all of that...
It started to snow at around 5.20...and stopped at 7.15...Minutes
before 6 the snowfall was impressive...really really heavy...Roofs and
cars turned white in few minutes...not the streets and pavements
unfortunately.As soon as it started I took
my camera...and in few seconds I was walking around Clifton...smelling
the snow in the air...feeling flakes brushing my face...
