Snow!
Crazy stuff - this winter has been pretty much entirely snow-free so far, but this has apparently changed - while I was getting groceries, no less. As I went to the grocery store the weather was the same as it’s been here in Gothenburg for the past few months - kinda cold, kinda windy, perhaps somewhat rainy - but when I got out maybe 20 minutes later, it was like blizzard outside! Well, OK, a very mild blizzard, but it was most certainly snowing. Not only that, but the snow actually stayed on the ground!
I’m no big fan of winter… in fact you could say I really, really don’t like it. I don’t have many nice things to say about snow either. That being so, a winter without snow just isn’t right. For all the inconveniences it brings with it, I do think snow can be really beautiful, and if nothing else it helps against the perpetual darkness we get here during our Swedish winters.
By the time I’m posting this, I’m sure the snow will already have melted away, but whatever. Hopefully more will follow, so the winter of 07-08 won’t have been completely pointless.
