So I went with my neighbor to get my car this morning and thankfully those working in the reception start half an hour early because it was a bit too chilly to have to stand and wait outside until I could get my car 🙂 I would have survived but it wouldn’t have been nice […]
Category: Winter.
So my car didn’t pass the annual vehicle inspection a month ago, the lamda emission was a tiny, tiny bit too high most likely due to the exhaust pipe wasn’t put together properly so it leaked slightly. I thought I would just go to the garage and order an appointment but forgot it, so on […]
Christmas isn’t that far away.
Less than one month to christmas or Jul (Yule) as we call it and it is even less left until it stops getting darker and turns toward longer days again. Even though December is just as grey and dreary as any winter month it still feels better just because Christmas really starts at December first. […]
Much hardier than I thought.
It’s finally warmer again but not especially close to what they guessed, instead of 10 C (50 F) it reached 4.5 C (40,1 F). They did guess it right when it came to the rain though and it it also quite windy so the photos You see today are from yesterday when it still was […]
A bit chilly.
We had a clear sky when I woke up this morning and I could see that the sun was rising even though it still was a couple of hours before that happened. I opened the door and followed the dogs outside and realized that if we stayed outdoor for more than a few minutes we […]
It was snowing when we woke up and went out to the garden this morning, mostly tiny flakes though so the roads are white but barely no snow can be seen in the fields. Pretty cold outside but it was the wind that made it feeling too cold. Not around here in my garden but […]
So we’ve missed almost all snow but I heard it was a bit chaotic on th e northern parts of our west coast during the morning and now they expect up to 50 cm (20 inches) of snow at the east coast just north of our Capital Stockholm. Down here where I live we even […]
Well our weather service :-)
So this morning they changed the weather predictions, no snow at all but slightly colder perhaps. The low pressure will continue to the south of us before it turns north so the snow will fall over eastern Sweden. I’m all for that even though I now have bought everything I need for quite some time […]
I could hear Cranes today :-)
We’ve had yet another storm passing by and this time it was fierce with hurricane force gusts at the ocean and almost hurricane force gusts here inland. Well I couldn’t notice much of it here at the cottage but I could hear the sound from it. Also the forest shielded it from me when I […]
41 cm (16,4 inches) of frozen mud.
The morning looked quite beautiful but this only stayed for a few minutes and after that the sky stayed evenly grey. Yesterday morning we went down to the creek, I knew there would be lots of water because they have flood warnings about the creek and where it flows out in to the lake. That […]
I wouldn’t call what we’re having a storm but the wind is quite strong and the temperatures below 0C (32F) so it hasn’t been especially enjoyable to be outside today and since the wind comes from eat it also reach the cottage and garden. It will stay much the same until tomorrow evening and after […]
Back to day shift again.
This hasn’t been the best of weeks for five people at work. The economy is bad over here and we don’t have as much to do as we used to so on Monday we were told that the evening shift would stop but that we all would start working day shift instead. I feel so […]
