Gray and rainy. Repeat this forecast day after day. This is the weather that kills you in Sweden – or anywhere else in the northern hemisphere – this time of year as we transition into winter. The long days of gray and darkness make everyone a bit edgy. Everywhere you look on the subway and around town, people are yawning. And everyone you talk to is booking or has already booked their flights out of here to see the sun as soon as possible.
The lack of sunshine makes your head fuzzy. I walked out of the gym after my spinning class with my shoe covers still on – you have to either take off your shoes or put on those blue hospital shoe covers before going in. I only got a few steps down the street before I noticed, at least!
