i think it was in january when it snowed here last year too (florence ? do you remember ? or katti's cat ?). it was even more exceptional than usual because that time it snowed, and then IT STAYED ! finally i understood what people complained about as a lot of it got tramped down and turned into ice, and going to the shops turned into an obstacle course where you hoped you'd make it there and back without breaking your neck. still fun though !
