Frozen In

The ice has only gotten worse. It rained and thawed this afternoon, only to freeze again this evening. Large BMWs with rear-wheel drive are not able to negotiate ice-coated cobblestones, as Mama found out when taking Oma Ruth home. The BMW is now parked at the bottom of our street, waiting for better traction.

All guests were able to make it to the Christmas feast, and more importantly, all were able to make it home safely.
