Look what finally made it to Belgrade...

So a few days ago it started to snow, it has yet to stop. In fact, I don't think its supposed to stop till thursday. South Serbia has been suffering for much longer and they are truly struggling. Belgrade is just getting a taste so far.

Lola watching the snow fall. She kept putting her paws on the window to try and catch the flakes. (Who knew snow actually fell in flakes?!) That lantern behind her is because the day/night before we lost power and had to resort to old school lighting methods.

The view from my window last night.

And this morning. People were out and about like usual, it just took some time to uncover their cars first.

These were taking as I was walking to catch the bus to Fellowship. This is the parking lot. Most of the cars that hadn't been moved had snow up past the tires.

You can see the sidewalk with tramped down snow and then those random footprints on the side from the adventurous kids.

I'm sure this guy thought I was stalking him. This is at the light waiting to cross the street. You had to step over the piles of snow onto the street which was ice in most places, with a little snow covering. You also couldn't step out in front of cars like normal because you didn't know how far they'd slide before coming to a stop.

The same guy...but here you can see where they had cleared the sidewalks and just pushed the snow over to the side. Which was great until you needed to reach the street and had to stomp through the piles of displaced sidewalk snow. 


The parking lot to street exits were mostly snow. They weren't nearly as clear as the streets themselves.

A little snow bug.

Jen you were totally right. The best part is that the parents pull their kids around on sleds. So you'll see these parents hauling a sled behind them with what you assume to be a child on it. You can't really tell because the snow suit obscures all features.

You could tell which cars hadn't been moved for a while.

The Orthodox temple behind the bus stop.

The mostly clear streets.
For all you Southerners I hope you enjoy living vicariously through my snow photos. It is a really weird experience for a Mississippi girl.

And Abbey you are totally invited to my birthday party!!
