What beautiful photos and what a gift to experience such a beautiful landscape. We're in Spain at the moment and it's warm and sunny (although it's also been very wet and windy at times!) but I love snowy days too 🤍

Thank you, Karen! Yes, this winter was a delight for a snow lover like me. 🤍

Spain sounds like a lovely contrast, I hope you have a beautiful time! ☀️

Yes, exactly, what is there not to like! Beautiful wintery photoos as a reminder of a beautiful snowy January.... I've been outside in the snow as much as possible too. And what a brave cat! 😻Unfortunately no snow at my place at this moment... Thank you for sharing and remembering Claudia! 🤍🙏🏼❄️

Thank you so much, Hilda! That’s exactly what it was about, I just had to remember an unusal snowy, beautiful January. 🤍 Glad you enjoyed it so much, too! Who knows when we will experience such a true winter again? We still have snow here, frozen very hard because it’s severely cold 🥶 (with windchill about -17° or even less), but more snow is actually forecast for the next few days. ❄️

Oh, that’s so cold! Hope you still enjoy 🥶

Claudia Kollschen's avatar

More from inside, to be honest. 😄 But a few hours ago it actually started snowing as forecast, and I still can't get enough of watching the snowflakes dance. ❄️

Yes, as the pictures state, you've indeed had a very beautiful winter! Every once in awhile it feels good to remember what a lot of snow does for the soul. Happy continued wintering!

Thank you, Cheryl!

I like the snow but we’ve had unbearable cold snaps.

Claudia Kollschen's avatar

I can relate to that, Holly. There is something like TOO cold. 🥶 Temperatures are currently well below freezing here, and the wind chill factor makes it feel like about -17 degrees Celsius.

I’m in NW Ont Canada & we had the coldest windchills of -45C overnight, it was insane. We had 2 weeks of polar vortex. Weather is good now though! Yesterday felt like spring at -10 lol.

Claudia Kollschen's avatar

That really IS insane!! 😦🥶 I hope you all got through it alright!

Forget what I said about the unusal cold we have here in the North of Germany right now, in comparison we have spring. 🙃

Lol those pictures of your cat 🤣🤣 and those little feet in the snow, so cute. I do miss snow in winter, brings up memories of childhood spent in the snow making snowmen.

Claudia Kollschen's avatar

I really can't (or don't want to) imagine winter without snow 😄, even if it's just a little most years now. How's the weather where you live right now? 😎☀️

So glad my cat pictures made you laugh. 😸

This weekend was beautiful, sunny, warm and dry. But the past two weeks we've had wild and stormy weather with lots of rainfall throughout the country. So it varies, January can have wild weather usually.

Claudia Kollschen's avatar

That sounds wild indeed! Great that you had lovely weather at the weekend for a change, especially at the weekend. 😊

Beautiful German Forest in Winter 💟❄️☃️ It makes me longing back of course. I am agree the winter season is very good for us that like the silence and calm/ slow life. Its soft , its lovley. I will go back to Stralsund in end of February. Maybe still Winter Wondes in the forest?!

Claudia Kollschen's avatar

Who knows, maybe winter wonders will stay even in Northern Germany a little longer? 😊🌨 I wouldn’t mind. 🥰☃️ I hope you have a lovely time at home for now and a wonderful time in Stralsund when you return! 🤗✨️🌷

What a lovely post, Claudia! I adore winter, too, though I think it is almost over here. The snow is almost all melted, but there may be some more snow on the way next week. Time will tell. Wishing you a magical rest of your winter!!!

Thank you, Csermely! Every season has its beauty, and I'm sure I will be delighted as well when the first tentative flowers pop up and the first buds and the new green can be found. 🌿🌷 Wishing you a lovely weekend!
