Burkliplatz - winter
I can state with some confidence that I won't be the harbinger of breaking news if I tell you that it is cold in Zurich.
The Lake however, unlike every other bit of exposed water, has not frozen. I read somewhere that it needs temperatures consistently below -10C for 40 days to achieve this. While it is hovering around this figure at the moment, and has been for a few days, if it persists for over a month it will take more than the wholesale freezing of the Zurichsee to cheer me up.
How people in Canada or Russia or wherever survive when the mercury dips to -30C or -40C for prolonged periods is beyond me.
So, I guess we all have nothing to complain about, sitting in our warm homes and when venturing out, we're warmly packed up. And I DO LOVE YOUR COOL SHOT of my much beloved Bürkliplatz; come summer, I shall hopefully be able to take a cruise with my mum, when and if she's still with us by then!
Thank You, Kiki
