Weather

Cold. The weather is cold here. On Saturday for Martini is was in the negative degrees, celsius of course. The average high is about 5 degrees here, not including the wind chill effect. And for the past several days we have had some lovely rain in Erfurt. Friends in Dresden and Berlin have seen snow flurries.

On Sunday I explored a castle amidst a rainstorm and wind. Quite entertaining until the feet got wet. And later at a festive music concert (direct translation) in a nearby church, it was freezing. I could see heaters, but they definitely were not on. Everyone was still in their coats and if you breathed hard enough, you could see your breath.

On a side note, after over 3 months in Germany, I just found an extra sock. Looks like one of mine, but does not have a match and Im not missing any pairs. Strange. With the next 9 months, I hope to somehow find another one to match it.
