These are some pictures of the Slovakian countryside. Enjoy them as I give you an update about life here in Bratislava.
The first time I came to Slovakia was February 2005. There was lots of snow, 10 to 15 degree temperatures and plenty of wind. People here enjoy their winter season but not quite that intense. Fast forward to winter 2007 and the contrast is amazing. I think there has been one day of snow fall here in the city, there was about 2 inches of accumulation. I don’t believe the temperature has dipped below 30 degrees (high temp) and has averaged close to 42 for the “winter.” There have been several days in the 50’s. Global Warming is gaining a certain measure of validity in these parts lately. People here are amazed at the lack of anything resembling winter. Slovakia has simply skipped winter and moved on to spring.
