Christmas Snow


We welcomed Christmas snow to Edinburgh this year (not to be confused with Christmas Snow), making for a more festive, somewhat brighter, and more slippery holiday period. Faithful readers of our blog will no doubt recall that Edinburgh does indeed receive some of the white stuff, but it last arrived in February, and was nowhere to be seen last Christmas.

This year involved the traditional Christmas and Hogmanay traditions, including the Christmas Dr Who Special, and the Edinburgh Torchlight Procession. With the additional company of Alette's family, we also enjoyed a Christmas goose, spent Christmas day at the Edinburgh Zoo, and spent an afternoon in Glasgow. We also plan to attend Edinburgh's "Light Night" event, taking place over a couple of nights, though the first night seemed a little treacherous.

Hi Mike,

Happy New Year to you and Alette.

All the best in the new year. Looks beautiful there, and there always seems to be lots of events going on.

Cheers, Randy Frid

now that's a lovely photo! This is the most snow I've seen in Edinburgh ever, and I've lived here for over 20 years!

@Randy: And to you as well. Edinburgh and Scotland continue to impress.

@Crafty: Good timing for us I guess, and it looks like more is on the way!
