When I woke up yesterday morning to go to work and stepped out of home, I saw a snowy car. I thought "where this car has come from?"! Then I saw a car next and I thought that these cars were somewhere together. And then I saw the third one and I thought "they were at the same wedding!" And I got out and saw the rest of cars too and thought "wow, it was a big wedding or something is happening". All the cars at the streets around my home were snowy but not a single puff of snow at the streets. And I realized that it had rained and the snow didn't touched them...
All day I was thinking my daughter's complaint, that "in all Europe was snowing, in all other Greece was snowing and in Katerini, no, it was not going to make us the favor". But this same afternoon, I realize how small-minded we both were. From the moment the first snowflake met our blink, we were mesmerized by the white dance of the uncountable crazy tiny dabs that were covering everything we could see ceaselessly but with no hurry at all. They had all night, they knew it and they were just having fun.
Today I saw the white scenery like from a fairytale first thing in the morning. Still dancing snowflakes but now white on white background. I went out to go to work and I stopped at the door facing half a meter soft and tasty fluffy solid water. All the streets were white in front of white houses with white cars parked next to white bend from weight trees. I was just happy.
After more than fifteen mins to do the distance of five, I reached work. Very few of us reached the building, very few people came, but what? Nobody cared for this. All day we were in front of the magical dance that was still at play out of the glass. Now, snowflakes are very few but the snow has covered almost everything, the schools closed because of the weather and happy children were playing snowballs and snow angels. And they had one more reason to be happy about: schools will be closed tomorrow also and they will have an extra day to have fun before the weekend. :P
So, in Greece of crisis, yes, we finally saw a white day! No thanks to our politicians but thanks to a blessed phenomenon that brightened our day. Because if we waited for our politicians, we wouldn't enjoy even this first winter snow that we hadn't seen, in such extent, for around a decade here in Katerini.
Here my younger daughter plays with her friends. And this is the beauty of winter. :)
My first app was "Ελλαδάρα Quiz" and it was made in greek to test our knowledge about greek stuff in a funny and entertaining way (http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/elladara-quiz/id448996047?mt=8). 
And now, my second one, "How Greek Are You?" is a hilarious app in english with 100 funny questions and many many funnier answers in our pursue to find each one's percentage of the traditional greek figure. How Greek Are you? is not to frighten people, some, very few I would say, have no greekness at all and being 100% greek in this app I don't think is the best thing that can happen to a human, but I really love the procedure and it may prove that we have some hidden greekness the way that non greek people, and even greek ones, consider really unacceptable. But we will have fun for sure.
