Photo album of snow scenes in Brussels posted on Facebook by a friend of
mine:

Nos 4 and 5 show the back of the building where I live.

No 3 shows the other building of similar design to mine on the same site.

Nos 6 to 9 show the view out of my sitting room window on Christmas Eve
afternoon - trees and bushes in the garden covered in snow: 20 cm lying
snow.

Nos 27 to 40 show the state of the roads on Christmas Eve afternoon near
where I live.

Nos 12 to 23 show scenes in the streets on Christmas Eve near where my
friend lives in the older part of Brussels.

Nos 1 and 2 and the night scenes also show the area around where my friend
lives - I think they were taken earlier in the week, before the heaviest
snowfall on Thursday Night.

Very nice!

When did you last get 20cm of snow? Deepest I can remember in North
London was 17 cm in Feb 1991.

______________________

Deep snow cover is unusual in Brussels. I can remember at least one other
instance of 20 cm during the time I have been here but I am not sure of the
exact year - sometime in the 1990s.

According to this article in today's edition of the Belgian newspaper Le
Soir
http://www.lesoir.be/actualite/belgi...ord-810931.php
the deepest snow cover on record at the Brussels Uccle site is 35 cm on 10
February 1902.

December 2010 in Brussels has - so far - been the coldest December only
since 1996. Average temperature at Uccle up to 23 December is -0.9°C.
