First snow

We have had light rain off and on for the last week, and more was predicted for today, with the possibility of snow flurries toward the end of the week. Imagine my surprise this morning when I walked out of Tesco to a serious snowstorm that lasted a good two hours. It made this historic city look even more enchanting.

Here is Tesco with its first dusting of snow.







This is the Radisson SAS Carlton Hotel, with a glimpse of Symphony Hall to the left, with the first snow of the season.



This is Hviezdoslavovo námestie looking east, with the U.S. Embassy on the right.





The Opera House is barely visible at the east end of Hviezdoslavovo námestie.





Looking west, the German embassy is the pale yellow building on the left.






The north side of the plaza, looking to the east, at buildings with flats on the upper floors and shops, restaurants, businesses, and galleries at street level.
