Snow in January

Global climate change has gotten everything so durcheinander (mixed up) here in Germany that it has actually begun to snow here – in January! Taken completely off guard by the unseasonable weather, Schneechaos (snow chaos) has broken out everywhere and thousands of unsuspecting German citizens have been forced to put on warm clothing again and turn back on the heat and everything.



Parts of an autobahn or two were closed for a few minutes yesterday, four flights were delayed somewhere, dark clouds have covered the sky here and there, blocking out the sun, and countless sidewalks have actually had to be cleared of snow. “The winter holds the South firmly in its grip” as up to three inches of the snowy white substance have covered parts of Baden-Württenburg and Baveria.

No one can find a proper explanation as to how snowfall like this could snowfall like this during this time of year like this, now that the climate has changed and all like this, but meteorologists are madly crunching numbers as you read this and will have us all up-to-speed again by dinner time.

Das Wetter spielt verrückt. Ich auch.
