Brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!

Sorry for the lack of blog updates. I've been sick, tiered, and as you can see from the pics - cold! Brrrrrrr! Actually, generally snow is nice. Yet, in the city it piled up so high that we couldn't use our car for days. Next it starts to melt and huge sheets of snow & ice crash down off the rooftops a few stories onto unsuspecting cars only to smash in windshields and hoods...then the wind, rain, hail....you get the picture. Snow in the city can get old after awhile.

However, in the mountains where snow should be it is great! Two weeks ago we were in Dolny Kubin visiting family and hitting the slopes. It was bitterly cold (-14c), but tons of nice snow to play in. Ivetka did a bit of skiing and I attacked the hill on my snowboard. Neither one of us had done this for a few years, so it was a fun and funny experience.
