friday it started snowing...and SNOWING...and snowing some more...it was windy the whole day, and i could hear the wind through my windows as i settled into my flat for the night...
i woke up saturday to continued snow and WIND...the snow was blowing sideways the entire day...
sunday i woke up to blue skies...no more snow, and just a little wind...i could see the snow was piled up from the 36 hours of snow, i wanted to get out and explore...
i made plans to meet up with camille and gregoire, we decided to go to the fortress and play in the snow...fortunately, the subway was working...i didn't know it at the time, but many of the buses/trolleys/marshrutkas weren't going due to the crazy snow accumulation...
the fortress was great fun...a lot of what camille and i had seen in the fall was completely covered by snow...i couldn't see walls or stairs, and ended up climbing up a wall of snow instead...ooops...SO MUCH FUN...
the wind picked up at various times, but for the most part our biggest problem was in figuring out how to get from one place to another in the fortress...because the snow had fallen in huge drifts, at some places it was past my waist...SO MUCH FUN...
i need to get proper snow/ski pants...my boots didn't let water/snow in, but since i didn't have a proper seal over my socks/ankles, plenty of snow got in that way, and later in the day i discovered my feet were quite cold and wet...almost purple...ooops...
SO MUCH FUN...
