Yes, I bet you’re glad that you weren’t at work today! In Milan, the street snow has been replaced, in the main, by water. Some of it so deep and ‘invisible’, that, as you step off the pavement, it goes well over your shoe/boot! So after my walk with the boys, my feet are now soaking even if I was wearing a good pair of boots.
Even old dogs, like yours and Rufus, seem to want to play when there’s snow on the ground.
You’re right, no street cleaning in Milan!

I can imagine the traffic jam this morning. In the small town in the mountains they’re prepared: when it starts to snow, they quickly start to clean. In Milan and also in my town things go in a different way…Consider that up to this afternoon some of the major streets of my town were still full of snow! While I know that in Senago they were almost clean. Enjoy the park with Rufus. I played with my dog. He, even if his legs are dancing like Elvis, wanted to play with the snow yesterday and this morning.
At least, you do not have to clean your street, while I was forced to do…
