(proof of muddiness)Later that evening I watched the Spain vs. England international soccer friendly in the college bar. And when that ended I watched the USA vs. Mexico game, which didn't end until around 2:00AM.
I was woken up early the next morning by a text from a friend. It said "you won't believe how much it's snowing!". I got up and looked out the window. Sure enough, it looked like a blizzard. Snow was absolutely pouring down. And not little flakes, but huge thick chunks. The ground was already completely covered.
I went back to sleep for another hour or two, fully expecting it to have melted away or be raining when I next woke up. Normally it only really snows early, and turns into a wintry mix later. Not yesterday. When I finally got up, it was still snowing just as strong. The ground must have been covered in 3 or 4 inches. I had to run some errands before lecture anyways, so I went out for a walk. Here's what it looked like:
(You can barely see the cathedral in the middle)
(Joggers! I couldn't believe it)
I think it might have been the last major snow of the year, so I had to go out and take lots of pictures. Interestingly it's a really nice day here today- sunny and relatively warm. I was able to wear a sweatshirt and jeans with no hat or gloves. You can't really predict the weather here.

you really need to get some X-country skis and take advantage of all that snow. Who knew you would get such a snowy winter?
