First havy snow in Switzerland

We had never so fast that much snow in Switzerland since 1939.
I went downtown yesterday and when I came home it was white everywhere.

Sunday trip to the mountains

We went with friends last "Sunday to the Simmenfälle in Lenk". 

We had fog in Oberbottigen and we were glad to go up to see the sunshine and it really was pretty up here. We walked over 1 hour, but when we got up to where usually is a restaurant. It was already closed for wintertime and so we went back down to Lenk to eat out in a restaurant.

We expect snow this week, the rain started yesterday and it turns cold. Gabi from upstaires and I made yesterday some grape juice and it come out real good.

Today afternoon I will go and visit my parents, they always enjoy to have company.
