Let it snow...

From what I’ve been hearing, this year has been somewhat of an anomaly for Lausanne in terms of snow given the significant amount that has fallen thus far. Typically, there isn’t a lot of snow due to the city’s (relatively) low altitude and proximity to the lake. However, there has already been a couple of significant snowfalls.

Today the trend continued, as there was heavy snow in the morning that carried on throughout the day. In fact, Geneva airport had to close for only the second time since the mid 80s (the other being last week). The size of the snowflakes were actually pretty remarkable -- roughly the size of golfballs -- and I tried to take a picture of them but nothing came out well since they were taken through a window.
