Just a quick update with some interesting facts. First one, I have one big assignment due Monday, so it looks like my big post about the trip will get postponed. Second one it has been snowing a lot last few days.

As I mentioned in previous post, there was snow when we arrived back from the trip. Tuesday night it was snowing a lot, so on Wednesday we all woke up to about 30cm of snow. The fun part was going to school at 8am with 20cm of snow on the sidewalk. For some reason I thought it will be faster if I take a bike. In the end I reached school after 20 minutes, many people that were walking were there before me and yeah it is really tiresome to pedal in that amount of snow. To top it off my bike froze like 3 times, every time you leave it out for an hour or so it freezes.

Anyway enough of complaining, in fact it’s quite fun to have this amount of snow, I really like it. The scenery has changed completely, it feels like Christmas already.

So yes, we finally have snow here! It’s not much, yet but enough to cover roads. What is interesting is that even though snowflakes were tinny when snowing, they stuck to the ground as glue. Normally in Slovenia, if they are so small, they just melt.

Even though it’s enormously fun driving (bike) on the snow, I fell two times already. Nothing serious more like stepping/sitting off bike, but I was on the grounds after it. Second problem, which is much worst is that while I’m driving, snow gets stuck under my rear mud protector. Because everything is so cold it doesn’t melt, despite constant grinding of the wheel, but gets thicker and thicker. So what’s the problem with that, you may ask? Well it acts like a brake, a really good brake. I had to press pedals really hard to go downhill, while going uphill is impossible. I’m not sure what to do if this continues, probably I’ll rip mud protector off.
