Winter In The Netherlands

Emmeloord

It was an odd year 2007 when there was no snow in The Netherlands. It was month of December already and no sign or predication of snow this year. Many elderly people who are used to see white Christmas were little dispirited. Kids were missing the snow sledging and skiing. Cloudy gray sky was adding to the dullness.

And on a Saturday Morning all kids and elderly people were taken by surprise from mother Nature. Whole countryside was covered with white flakes and frost which turned the atmosphere to bright white and spirit to Joyful cheers.

Slightest sign of snow for a person from Tropical region is always a delight, while usually this "delight" surprises any elderly person who are used to white winter especially in Europe or USA. I have seen people from tropical region travelling specially to just see snow, running and screaming out of excitement to see not even the snow but just frost looking white during the winter.

But this year was different I got to see both Tropical and European persons running with excitement with a hope to have one more white Christmas.
