It seems that many people are having problems with their jobs and keeping their jobs.

- Snow? Oh my, Mindy. It's been snowing here for a month and they don't close anything for any amount lol It's Germany, after all :) But, seriously, the roads have been dangerous at times, but the Germans are pros at clearing the streets of snow quickly. Hope you are doing well and had a Merry Christmas!
