No, seriously, it's blowing into my house. Really, you can have some. We've gotten about, oh, two inches of EXTREMELY dry snow with teeny flakes in the last few hours. I am placing bets on when the power will go out.
That is the most awesome description of the Netherlands ever. One of the things I really envy Europe for is how easy it is to get to another country - I mean, yeah, there are parts of America that might as well BE other countries, like the South (and I ♥ it for that) but it just totally blew me away the time I went on holiday on the Continent and went through Brussels, France, and Spain, and would have gone on to Italy (I was also shooting for Morocco) if I'd done better planning. Not that I stayed anywhere really long, since I wound up only being gone a week, but it was nice to just get some teeny taste of what each of those places was like. Here, you go across country and the chances are good you can get the exact same food, language, and various things as you can at home, even without going to the chains.
