Marking break.

Big fat flakes of snow are swirling around ouside my window. It's even sticking to the streets, but not as much as on the cars and the trees.

I've got the usual Sunday blahs brought on by marking hell which has been made worse through procrastination. I need to get this finished today, but I over-estimated my students and made the tasks too difficult which means I'll have to fiddle with my usual grading scheme so that there won't be too many tears when I hand the tests back. (It's the little ones and they well up easily.)

I'm glad that I've got winter tyres, but I'm not looking forward to having to excavate my car in the dead of the night to get to school tomorrow morning. Let's hope that all other drivers are sensible, too, (hah!) and only venture out with the proper tyres or else there will be chaos on the streets. On the other hand, all the snow might be gone.

We have the white fluff too, on streets, cars and trees. It's very impressive when you live higher than the houses on the other side of the street: their roofs are all white.

It has stopped snowing now and it's starting to melt. I might have clear streets tomorrow after all.

Yay, winter!

We had a few snow flakes in the morning but they didn't stick and rain quickly took over. It has rained all afternoon long actually.

It's still mostly white outside, but the main roads will be free, as long as it doesn't start up again.

On the one hand, I want to take snow pictures tomorrow, on the other hand I don't want traffic woes. Hmm, the practical person inside of me opts for less snow...
