<p>We had our first flurries yesterday - they stuck to the grass for a while, but they melted today.</p>
<p>Last night, it snowed!!! But it melted.</p>
<p>It snowed for us! Last weekend, a bit over the week..but little flurries, too. Nothing heavy. But my school is isolated (as in 45 minutes out of the city) so the snow is completely melted in the city, but when you come to school, the roof is partially covered or the lawn... it's cool.</p>
<p>My school is about 30 mins from the city, basically on a farm and we have lots of snow. They had to send some kids home early today, who live down in Garmisch in the mountains because of the blizzard. Winter has arrived!</p>
<p>Scarlet,</p>
<p>Ah, Garmisch is lovely! We stayed in a lovely little hotel with a stream running right past the front gate. The price was so low, I think we asked the clerk 4 times to be certain we got it right! And what a lovely little restaurant on the main floor! We even walked up to the bottom of the ski jump platform. </p>
<p>Man, those were the times! Thanks for jogging my memory! Stay warm and enjoy Europe! Ever get to Naples? That's where we lived.</p>
<p>I love Garmisch. I spend most of my winter weekends down there skiing at the Zugspitz. It's such a wonderful little town. I'm loving Europe. I'll be a little sad next year at college in America. It won't be the same. </p>
<p>No I've never been to Naples. But we spend our summers in Portofino, up by Genoa. I've wanted to go though.</p>
<p>Portofino, yet another lovely site! Well, enjoy your stay, but college will be great too, just in another way. Do you know where you will be attending? Or where you would like to attend?</p>
<p>Portofino is amazing. I really love it there. </p>
<p>I'll be in North Carolina at Wake Forest University. I was just accepted Early Decision!</p>
<p>Congratulations! Yep, it will be different! Look around and make those long-term memories, and really appreciate all that is around you. North Carolina is lovely, too, and I know you will love Wake Forest. From what I hear, it is a great school! Good Luck!</p>
<p>Thank you! I'm very excited about going next year. I can't wait. But my family lives over here permanently so I'll get to home to Germany on breaks, or Switzerland if the CDU/SPD continue to raise taxes.</p>
<p>Hey, congratulations, scarletleavy!!</p>
<p>Thanks! (stupid 10 character rule)</p>
<p>Never went to Garmish scarlet, but when I lived over there I went to Chimsee (spelling?) quite a bit. I was in Heidelberg.</p>
<p>BTW- Great job on your Wake admission!</p>
<p>Chiemsee. lol. I've never been to Heidelberg though. </p>
<p>Thanks!</p>
