It's feeling and looking a lot like home. We have had a good old winter storm for the past two days. There hasn't been a lot of accumulation of snow because it comes in little bursts but we've got a pretty good storm happening right now.
From what I've been told, this is a pretty rare occurrence for Holland. It does snow once in a while but usually not enough to cover the ground. Dennis remembers while serving his mission it snowed about 4 inches once and everyone was so amazed. We drove home from Dusseldorf late last night and it reminded me of the many trips we've made through Sardine Canyon at night in a snow storm. There were only a couple of times when we couldn't see the lines on the road.
It makes me want to put up some Christmas decorations but I'm told you don't do that here until after Sinterklaas day which is the 6th of December. I guess we'll have to settle for some good Christmas music.

I'm glad you got a little feel of home! One of the things I loved about a mission to So Cal was NO snow :) So far here, we're still pretty dry - good football weather!
Cool! My kids are wishing it would snow here!
