Description As usual, the greeting card for a wholly Romanian tradition called " Mărțișor" , your basic Spring Festival type thing which is celebrated in Romania on March 1st.
This year though, it comes in the middle of a polar vortex that's affecting the whole of Europe, so there are currently -20°C outside, hence the theme for the drawing, a snowdrop (traditional flower associated with the festival) in an ice cube, with the -also traditional- red/white ribbon around it.
It's the first time this winter we've had snow, and it comes at the "official" beginning of spring... Oh, the cruel irony.


Cheers and happy spring!
...
Whenever they actually get around to it, that is.

Spring is coming! Weather: nope    
I know it's not the same, but it snowed in all Spain, which is ridicously rare.

It was always crazy but getting the word out is so much easier with TV and specially the internet. If something happens its reported in less then a hour or much sooner. It was just to long ago it would take hours, even days to report what was happening on the other side of the world.
