    My new home is in the Nordics, and first snow barely impacts traffic. Trains and buses are on time. It always makes me chuckle with schadenfreude because my old home was and still is the opposite: snow = chaos. Accidents, ridiculous delays, traffic jams…

    Canceling “because it snowed” would not be a good excuse here. Unless you’re a plow operator.

      On the flipside, the moment the temperature climbs over 30°C, we’re all melting!

      Sincerely, Dane barely keeping it together in 24° 😁

          It’s now climbed to 29 here and I’m sweat fountain whenever I leave the area of my floor fan for more than a minute 🥵😄

          I too am built for the cold, quite literally!

          I’m trying hard to bike away most of the seal blubber, though 😁
