Finally ... snow came to Vienna

I couldn't believe my eyes when I looked out of the window today in the morning: Everything was white - a winter wonderland?
At days like these I just can't stay inside - even though the warm bed was more than tempting me.
Storming out with my camera to picture all the romantic sceneries in the inner city under a cover of light sugar coating ... i got really disappointed. The snow got muddy and even muddier the more I came close to the center and when I reached Graben - I couldn't see anything but trucks. One lined up after the other ... blocking the whole pedestrian area. Where normally tourists are strolling legerly, passing by the plague column ... there were cars driving - remembering me of pictures from some 50 years ago when there actually was a street going through Graben.

My winter wonderland phantasies being destroyed, I was more than eager to return to my cosy blanket and the nice view from my window - where the snow still looked white and wonderful - and the trees whispered: 
"Vienna became a winter wonderland ... just look at the little side streets".
