snow!

after weeks of waiting for it, it finally came last night. it started slow, but we had been warned about it going wild overnight, so it's weird that lots of people still managed not to get the point until they were on the icy roads with their non-snow-tired cars.

i took the earlier bus, across the street, knowing what chaos there would be in Geneva (they got rid of all their snowploughs a few years ago, as it hadn't snowed in ten years - guess what happened as of the very next winter?). if i'd walked my usual twenty minutes to my usual bus stop, i would have caught the bus before that. we're talking 2 kms here... anyway, i got to work on time (simply because i'm always way early), as person number 2 after the boss. some people never made it out of home, seeing as they live really far out in the countryside, or even in the mountains. one of my colleagues actually ended up in a ditch. she's ok but her car probably isn't... and she lives nearly two hours away...
