Before and After: Here we go again

Last Fri-So I was away on a skitrip in Schladming/Styria with (most of) the peeps from the Vienna office. It was great fun, both the skiing and the après part, and for the first 2 days, we had t-shirt weather and glorious sunshine. View from the balcony of our accommodation on Friday morning...

...and then again on Sunday morning. Ooops!

This is the typical phenomenon of "Don't-be-fooled-weather" that occurs in Austria pretty much every spring and autumn. Usually in March or April when everybody has put away the woollen stuff and boots and some really ambitious people have also changed the tyres of their cars as well it snows and you need to put on the heating once more and again in September or October when people have put away their sleeveless tops and bikinis, it gets super hot again. I don't mind too much as I feel we didn't even have a "proper" winter this year, but I am definitely looking forward to warmer temperatures and summer in Vienna. Even though the city is very beautiful in winter with all the Christmas markets and decorations I love it best during the long summer days and it's still hot and sunny when I get out of work. Bliss.
