forest

This is what spring looks like in the Wienerwald, the hilly forest stretching from the western city limits of the town towards the alps.

Me, I've caught a cold in this crazy weather typical for april: Föhn on the friday before last weekend, almost snow at the weekend in higher lying regions, again 'warmish' but with a fierce wind on monday and tuesday (where it seems the virus got to me), the two following days really cold with a record low of 2,5 degrees Celsius right here in Vienna (and almost snow!), and again a bit warmish today, friday, when the new weekend begins.

Tomorrow, it will be rainy, but milder than yesterday, and on sunday Föhn is supposed to blow again. But monday and tuesday again should bring colder weather.

I'd much have preferred a cold winter with much snow lasting till end of march and then have seen the last of winter; but that's the weather for you, it won't comply to ones wishes, not even if you ask nicely.
