It's all white now




Well, it's officially a white Christmas. It snowed in the mountains around St Gilgen last night, down to several hundred metres above the village itself. This morning we took the cable car up to the top of the Wolferhorn, where the snow was fresh and deep. It was Lauren's first experience of snow, and while she knew what it was an enjoyed it, she could only take it for a short time.

Aidan and I stayed up a little longer, and by the time we left it was virtually a white out with fine powdery snow and fog reducing visibility to only about 10m or so, and the cable car was floating in all white for a while.

Since being back in town it has started snowing at the village as well, and looks like doing so for a while. Might make getting out tomorrow tricky, but is beautiful to look at. Sitting here with a glass of red watching the snow fall and build up on thee village is very relaxing. Heading down to the bar for a coffee and cake to fill in some time, and then our last dinner with the Wolfes and Blebys this evening.

It's definitely all white now.
