Snow

After several weeks of high temperatures, winter decided to come back here. Yesterday -7 degrees C and today -2  degrees C and a lot of snow as you can see at the bin in front of our home. As pensioners we don't have to go to work anymore but the country has come to a standstill. Traffic jams of more then 1000 km, which is the absolute record ever! I think that most of the population is sitting in a car for the rest of the day.

I am a kind of barometer myself, when snow is coming I feel it in my head and had a very unpleasant headache last night, so I was not surprised to see the snow this morning. 
What also gave me a headache was the complete fall down of my notebook last sunday. Everything has gone, all my bookmarks and photo's. Hubby SC has tried to restore most of the programs, luckily I had many photo's in Picasa, but it is all very stressfull. So you must forgive me for not being able to comment to everyone's blog.

At least the backyard looks like a fairytale.

  4. I did the conversion to F, as if I needed to. The minus sign was enough for me. Yikes! I just bought a back-up hard drive (Toshiba from Amazon) and it arrived yesterday. Extremely easy process to hook up and start going. My main reason behind the purchase was to free up the hard drive in my laptop hoping it would function a little faster. Not sure if it is any faster but at least everything - photos, documents, videos, favorites, etc. is someplace else and safe in case the laptop decides to bail on me.

  6. I can't believe the size of that traffic jam. It must be a world record. Horrible news about your computer. My brother was showing what I ought to buy to back-up my photos etc. I must get around to doing it.
