Just wanted to say that you look strikingly beautiful in your icon picture.

(Sorry about the snow. You should come visit us here. We've got tons of sunshine!)

People who have arthritis sometimes get sponsored rehabilitation trips to either Israel or Spain in the winter. They last for three-four weeks so I haven't applied for it (and it's not certain that you get to go) because i can't be away from Maja that long, but maybe I will. Before I didn't want to go to Israel for political (and security) reasons, but while my political objections still apply, I have begun to think it would be nice to go there just so that I could meet you.

*peeks outside* We're fluctuating wildly between snow, sleet, rain, and sunshine. I feel your pain.

It's the same here! A lot of snow! But no snow in Oslo, that's so unfair! I want spring!

I know, it snowed here yesterday. Where is Spring?

Det är aprilväder, redan i mars... (April Fool's Weather).

Längtar också efter våren.

No snow here (that was Monday), but it's still very cold. I want some warmth with my sunshine!

And from the token southern-Californian contingent... what is this snow thing you speak of?

You should move here, Eva! *giggle*

Maybe I should, but I get totally miserable when it gets over 84F in the summer (which it usually does every day during the Visby medieval week in August).

Ah, well-- and you get humidity with that heat, too. Seriously, 85F is a normal day around here in the summer, but since there's no humidity to speak of, that temperature does seem to be a lot less, subjectively.

We get little to no rain whatsoever between May to September; most roofing work is done in August because there is, statistically speaking, no chance of rain dropping into an open house. There are no green hills to be found here after May...

So, even though it may be 79F in my hometown today with some clouds moving from left to right, the humidity is 16%-- which isn't enough to work up any kind of sweat at all. Our winters are considered weirdly wet if we get more than one incident of rain every 2 or so weeks.

well, i did experience it snowing in santa monica when i lived in LA.
and as a swede i found it hilarious to see a that a considerable amount of the prime time TV-news that evening was spent on reporting from the snowfall.... ;)

[ciorstan.livejournal.com]

That's because it only happens once per generation. I think the last time it snowed where I live was in the 1930s... and it melted as soon as it hit the ground!

[therru.livejournal.com]

Yes -- I remember when I lived outside London for a couple of years, and there was utter chaos because of, what, two, three inches of snow? Schools were closed, for gods' sake. People couldn't understand why I was so amused.

Snow is in the forecast this evening, I hope we get at least a meter of it! It hardly if ever snows around here, when it does it lasts only briefly for no more than a day or two at best. I know the cold & damp is difficult for you, so I'll try to materialise a hot tub for you all!~ ;)

It was going so well! The snow was melting away, the... um... sälg (salix?) was about to flower, and now it's all covered in snow again. I know I say this every winter, but here it comes again: next autumn, I'm going to do my best to hibernate.
Oh, and I'm not looking forward to allergy season, it's going to be quite explosive this year. Soon over though, one hopes.
