Today I went for my first real snow run! It has been snowing uncommonly much in Berlin. We don’t usually get more than a few days of whatever-snow. This thin, silly off-white nothingness that doesn’t even make it to the ground. But this time it has been snowing non-stop and properly for days now. Real powder. It’s glorious! Everything is muffled and calm and somehow more peaceful. People with sleds everywhere. Long, slow walks in ski outfits. The thick neverending white sprinkles a dash of magic onto this grey rather ugly city and dips it into an almost country-side-ish peacful quiet. Running in this weather was special. (I just love weather) It was cold (duh), even icy. But so beautiful. When I got home my face was so frozen (which I love) and I had to take a long steamy hot shower to melt. Just perfect.
