arrival - SNOW

I arrived OK in Munich on a 40 minute early United flight thanks for a 150mph tailwind.  It was snowing at the airport but dry in old town - so i enjoyed walking around my standard venues - the English Garten, Museums quarters, MarienKirche, and of course Conrads - the Euro 'radio-shack'.  I was fascinated by the addition of mainstream LEDs by Asian manufacturers that Lowe's and HD are selling under their own brands.   Remote home monitoring and solar sections in the store seemed to be double the floor display size from what I remember last year.

However at the Munich train station, the EC83 to Verona was 94 minutes late! A rarity before, but train delays are getting more common in Central Europe.  Turns out that Austria Tyrol has been BURIED in snow.  I mean, over 15,000 people stranded in some very high-end resorts. Avalanche dangers, trains cancelled, roads closed.  Looks like all the snow we're missing in California has ended up here.
