Winter officially arrived
in Warsaw
two days ago.
On Wednesday, snow
fell nearly nonstop all day – the first snowfall of 2014! I woke up to more
snowflakes this morning, and the snow looks like it won’t be leaving anytime
soon according to our extended weather forecast.
Well, for our first winter
in Poland,
I must admit I’m happy we have escaped the snow for this long. Everyone tells us
that we are having an unusual winter. The previous winter lasted from late
October in 2012 to the first week of April, when we moved to Warsaw. What a
wonderful welcome gift!

Prior to this week, I had
only seen a dusting of snow on December 6 when I arrived bleary eyed from my
holiday trip in the U.S. I wouldn’t have minded a little snow on Christmas, but that
did not happen. Now, Warsaw is covered in a white, wintery glow!
Though I
really didn’t want to leave my toasty, warm apartment, I decided to break in my
new winter boots and take some photos around the city, which did look pretty
covered in the fresh snow. I only took my cell phone because I didn’t want our
good camera to get ruined. This will give you just a little taste of what we’re
experiencing.
I’m
pretty positive this snowfall won’t be our last. Stay tuned!

How gorgeous! We are still awaiting our first blanket of snow here in SW Germany.
@Annie, I'm sure the prettiness of it all will soon wear off for me. But for now, I will enjoy it.
@Joyce, You've already had more snow than us! Stay warm!
@Alex, Really? Well, if you miss it, you can come visit us here! But I'm sure you visit the Swiss Alps or somewhere closer too. :-)
Great pics, Joy - greetings from the Maxwell Food Court!
@Barbara, Jealous! ;-) Hope you'll be sharing some of your foodie photos soon! xoxo
Why do I bother with an SLR? Your photos are just beautiful, Joy, you make Warsaw look wonderful! What a good idea to go out and about!
@Claudia, My lil Samsung phone does take pretty good photos, but I still LOVE my DSLR! Nothing like it. :-) But much better to use my phone when the snow is blowing outside!
I'm happy and enjoy your post :) Travelling is really beautiful, I love it and can't imagine my life without it!
