Dealing with winter

A bird's eye view of snowy Slussen from Gondolen's bar. We had drinks there for our anniversary on Wednesday.

After being away from winter for three weeks, I feel like I can deal with it again. Since we’ve been back, we’ve had a lot of snow, but we’ve also had a lot of sunshine. And the days are so much longer than when we left. This time of year, the amount of daylight changes so rapidly that after three weeks, there is a lot more light. So today, the sun was up at 6.51, which is 19 minutes earlier than just last week. And the sun is setting at 17.10, which is 17 minutes later than last week.

It’s very gray today, but the birds are chirping, it’s a relatively balmy -2c and I have hope that I can survive another long winter in Stockholm. If I tell myself that, maybe it will come true. Maybe.

The sun was shining brightly in HumlegÄrden yesterday. Not today though.

Even though it's gray here, we had a lot of sunshine while it was snowing this week.

Wow. I’ve been wondering how much snow Stockholm still has…got my answer. I’m bracing for a chilly re-entry on Thursday! The growing light is definitely a plus!

Yup, it does not seem like it has changed much in that regard while we were gone Jodi. Have a safe journey home!
