Still snowing…

John in the snowRuth in the snow
Two weeks ago it started snowing – it hasn’t stopped (for long) since. The snow is piled up everywhere and as you can see, it started snowing again when we went out for a walk this afternoon. The snow on our roof has found it’s way inside since it started piling up and we have a leak – actually, several leaks – into our bedroom – fortunately not onto the bed, which happened to our neighbours in the other side of our semi-detached house a couple of years ago.

The houses in our little cul-de-sac all have had problems with leaking roofs at some time or another – they have lots of strange angles, flat areas and curved roofs over dormer windows – the architect was a Greek and the style of the houses is very mediterranean – light and airy, but totally unsuitable for the raw, windy, wet climate in the hills north of Frankfurt. Still, it keeps the local roofing specialists in business!
