Winter essentially started in November when the rain changed to our first snow, of which I snapped pictures out my window. Then it progressed to several -10C days in a row before I left for the U.S. for the holidays.

With winter have come a lot of picturesque views from my window and the kitchen balcony, so you'll have to excuse me for having five thousand pictures of the same thing, like my page of the Schwabian Alb.
