Wow moo, that sure is cold! But I have to say this season is being mild around here, too. Switzerland is not very far from here. Must be something in the air.. or I don't know. I'm not particularly bothered, because I suffer the cold very much, but it's true that warmer December lacks something in atmosphere. Today for example we had the typical summer storm here. It's not as hot as in summer, obviously, but you know that kind of storms... seems hell on earth for 15 minutes and after that everything's still and back to normal. Not nice thinking it's nearly Christmas and you expect chill and snow and reindeers running around
