The first week of this trip, it snowed. I don't mean flurries. It got really cold on Friday, and we had a really interesting ice fog. It was so humid that we could watch the ice crystals forming on the trees and handrails.It started snowing Friday night, and snowed continuously through Sunday. By the time it was over, we had probably 12 inches of snow. Little did we know that they don't plow the autobahn until the snow stops (or so it seemed), and don't plow the secondary roads until after that (spring?).
As a result, we didn't even try to do any touristing. (My co-worker would rather relax in his room anyway.) We did go downtown (Leipzig) for dinner Saturday at the Italian restaurant next to Thomaskirche (St. Thomas Church). The snow was deeply piled on the roads, and some of the locals were sledding down the walkways. Good food, but kind of treacherous.
So - not much to report, except some pictures of the snow.
