First snow

As if on cue, and with the Christmas season now in full swing (at least in our minds now that Thanksgiving is over), Düsseldorf had its first snowfall. Sadly, the snow did not stick; upon waking up this morning, there was no evidence the snow showers had passed through.

How did we know that it even snowed? Well, Budman and I both woke up in the middle of the night thirsty from dinner (no turkey dinner for us, it was pizza instead – kind of sad) and we went to get some water. That's when we saw the snow showers. It was very peaceful just standing in the dark kitchen, gazing through our kitchen window, and watching the snow fall.

Winter is definitely here. And it is making that outdoor running very cold.
