Strangely, we were happy to see that the temperature had dropped when we returned to Holland. (However, we weren’t happy to discover that the heater in our house had stopped working. Luckily our landlord was able to get it just warm enough to cope before the repairman came the next day.) The bright side about the dropped temperature was that the winds had died, the skies were blue, and there was hardly any black ice so we could still cycle to school (although, I now know that even bundled up, it’s miserable to be on a bike when it’s 18°.) Best of all, the canals and ponds were frozen. The poor ducks have been displaced from the pond in our neighborhood as skaters took it over. Looks like someone took advantage of being able to walk to duck island to trim the trees.
