It has snowed even more until yesterday and then the sky cleared off last night. This morning everything was frozen and it was -5 C. The roads were not safely drivable in our opinion (the roads are full of frozen slush with ice underneath) so the kids are getting a day off--I have no idea if the schools are actually closed or not. V and I walked to town to get breakfast at the bakery and the wind was driving snow dust off of roofs and blowing around on the ground. Everything is white. It is supposed to snow some more tomorrow and the longer forecast is below freezing the rest of the week. This is a very early start to winter for N. Germany and everyone is talking about how unusual it is. For one of my newer coworkers, this is the first snow he has ever seen and I think he is starting to get concerned--we had some fun teasing him that this is nothing, wait until it really starts snowing and gets cold...
Also, the kids got their long awaited advent calendars today (Dec. 1st)! They are a big deal here in Germany.
