One of these days, it's all going to melt

There's so much of it about, and it will get warmer. One day, the weather will turn; temperatures will return above zero, rain will fall... and these minature icebergs will melt. Waders will be necessary to get around. Just look at those cubic metres of water waiting to be released back into the liquid state. Above: outside my office, ul. Fabryczna; below: Al. KEN, Ursynów. Tomorrow we can expect a brief thaw, snow, then snow and rain - a foretaste of the meltdown to come. Temperatures are forecast to fall to -6C tomorrow night. So it will hold on for a bit longer.

And don't forget those ever-present brown piles that are successively uncovered when the melt begins!

The snow and cold have been wonderful - a real winter!

It looks like that over here, too - when all that melts, the people in the Moselle valley will get wet feet!
