Our First Snow

Wow, just when I thought that Innsbruck could not get any more beautiful, it snows. We had our first snow of the season this week. We woke up Monday morning to snow covering everything! It continued to snow nonstop for the whole day, leaving us with about 9 or 10 inches of accumulation. Noah was so excited that after school I took him out to build a snowman. They say that this is pretty early in the season to get this much snow. I have heard that this winter might be pretty bad. We will see. One of the students at the church here is going to teach me how to snowboard, so look out for pictures of that in the future. Hopefully, none of them will be of me in a full body cast!

Driving adventures......Because there is snow much snow here and so much mountain driving, you are required to have a set of summer tires and a set of winter tires. I, like many people were caught off guard by the storm and still had my summer tires on. We were taking Seth to his first doctor's appointment Monday morning and were not even able to make it down the mountain. I had no control at all. We were just fishtailing down the mountain, when by the grace of God, I was able to pull into a driveway. We turned around and went home. We had our snow tires put on yesterday, so we are ready. Bring on the snow!

There are a few pictures. One of Noah and his snowman, the first snow and a gratuitous picture of Seth who is almost 3 weeks old now! Enjoy.
