Not So Common

 

When most people think of Switzerland images of Snowy Alps come to mind.  The reality, however, is that it rarely snows in Geneva--especially by the lake.  Saturday, though, we woke to snow falling after it had rained all night.  As you can imagine this made for a slushy mess.  I insisted that we get out immediately and record what may be the only snow that I will see on the ground by Lake Leman, where we live.  I had been feeling so sad about missing the beautiful snowfall in Pinehurst last Tuesday, that being able to enjoy some snowy moments Saturday morning was some consolation.  Enjoy the scenes from our neighborhood as we recorded a fairly uncommon event.

 

Despite our soaking feet, I was glad that we had made the effort to take these pictures on our morning walk.  The snow was completely gone by mid-afternoon.

Looks like you got about the same amount as we did. Ours was also gone by lunch. So we came in and watched the Inauguration while we drank hot cocoa and ate lunch. The streets look pretty with snow on them.
