Winter drive

Last Sunday we had a freezing cold day with bad weather forecasts. I have only one sister who had her birthday and we decided after some hesitation to go anyway. After an hour drive we arrived without any snow in Gouda, but very soon it started to snow and snow and snow.

Hubby SC got a little nervous and after a while we decided to go home again. The roads were not yet cleaned so we drove through a complete winter wonderland. Luckily the traffic  drove very slow and careful and there were no accidents on the road.

Actually It was a very cosy ride, slowly through the winter scenery in a warm car with some music on the radio and me making pictures.

After an one and a half hour ride we arrived safe in Almere again.

  3. You know, there is something magical about riding home in a snow storm. If one takes their time, has the magic of music and camera, it can almost seem like a magical white ride. I like your photos, the do remind me of driving home here in winter, as we often get caught in storms. I do feel the magic. Thanks for sharing and have a wonderful day.

  4. This is how my drive to work looked this morning. But without the blue highway signs (ours are green) with fun-sounding places! :)

  5. Driving in the snow is a bit unnerving for me, yet for some they see it great fun. I'll stay home.

  8. Ja het is uitkijken onderweg. Ik rij zo'n 90 km per dag aan woon-werkverkeer, wat met dit weer een echte uitdaging is. ;)

  15. If it wasn't for the signs, those could almost be scenes from Canada. Geniet er maar van.
