Snow chaos
It doesn’t snow in Berlin . It snow chaos(es) here. Whenever it snows, even if it’s just two or three centimeters like last night, everybody starts running around in circles screaming “Schneechaos!” Cars speed up and everybody tries new, break-neck maneuvers they would never dare to attempt on dry streets. Fathers get up at three in the morning to start clearing their sidewalks. Mothers keep their children home from school. Supermarkets start getting stormed. The national guard gets put on high alert. And they don’t even have a national guard here.
You know, it’s kind of like when Godzilla comes to Tokyo .
And there are other parts of Germany that are actually having real snowfall at the moment. It’s snowed two or three meters worth at some places, power lines breaking and all that. But those folks are all calm, cool (ha, ha) and collected. But not here. The snow here has definitely hit the fan.
I think I’m going to go outside in a few minutes and start a snowball fight with one of those kids who had to stay home from school today. Einfach so. I’m not sure if I can scrape up enough snow together to make a snowball, though.
