Artist Silvia Fedorova, who lives in Bratislava, sent this photo of snow falling today on the square that her attic studio overlooks. The square, which is in the old town, is now set up for the annual Christmas market, a lively, delicious event with lots of music and dancing. In the message that came with the image, Silvia wrote that city traffic was about to "collapse" (an apt turn of phrase) because of the snow. Here it is cold but there is no snow in the forecast.
