Last Monday morning I woke to discover that the grey, dreary Berlin I had known of late had unexpectedly transformed into a winter wonderland. Overnight, the heavens had opened and coated the city with a heavy blanket of snow that lay thick across the capital. Doubly blessed with clear skies, low beams of sunshine unleashed a glimmering landscape of diamonds sparkling in the cool light.
I bounced out of bed, threw on some clothes, fumbled for the whereabouts of my beanie and gloves, snatched the camera and raced outside. This was a morning not to be missed.
Can you believe that this thick frosting only lasted a total of three days? Warmer temperatures that pushed above freezing quickly initiated the melt, meaning that Berlin’s bright and clean new cloak disappeared all too suddenly. I’m hoping for more snowy Mondays soon.

When have you bounded out of bed to go play in the snow? Share your memories below!
How beautiful!! I’ve never really experienced the snow outside of skiing in New Zealand. How I dream of living somewhere it snows one day!

It was a magical morning Chalsie! Hopefully one day you will move somewhere cold enough to enjoy a snowy winter. I do love Europe’s four very distinct seasons — very different to Australia and NZ. All the best! x
I sometimes think of snow as being only a hassle since it disrupts commutes to work-but then I take a step back and enjoy the beauty and all’s well.
I agree, Magda, it can be a hassle when it causes delays, but I guess everyone is in the same boat! The arrival of snow does make the long European winters a little more pleasant though 😉
I was in Berlin too and of course I literally JUMPED out of bed to go and play in the snow 🙂 After those long grey day I needed just that!
