It is going to snow tomorrow here in Switzerland. How do I know? Because the newspaper told me. And the weather forecasters here are always correct!!! I think if they not, they get taken out and hung up in the town square or something, where all the villagers can pelt them with rotten tomatoes and eggs!
So, they realy do know their job about weather forecasts here... We can plan things around their predictions, truly!!!dancing

And ... Switzerland ended up with only 2 days of snow this year!! In the Canton of Zurich anyway. Even the annual school ski-holiday was cancelled last week, because there is not enough snow up in the Alps for the kids to ski!

Is this a sign of Global Warming? or just a natural phenomenom? Like a seven year sort of Jubilee sort of thing....?

rolling on the floor laughing Methinks The Great Spirit in the Sky is having a good laugh at Humankind! We build our "industries" on what we presume is going to last forever...... and then Disaster.... no Money comes in!

This is the story of Life that never fails to amuse me..... "What we Chase is what we never Catch", "What we Want, we never Get".

On the reverse of this is the adage.... "What we Give Away, is what we Receive".dancing

Ah, I have figured it all out! The reason for only 2 days snow in Switzerland this year is as follows....

It is all because I went out and bought TWO pairs of new SNOW BOOTS!
Now I gotta wear one year old boots NEXT season, or convince my 6yr old grand-daughter that they ARE her size! and hope her feet realy grow fast in the next year!
