white!

How come people are always surprised by the weather?

How come Swedish people are surprised by the cold?
How come they are surprised by snow?

I just don't get it - we had 30 cm of snow yesterday (and a storm that almost blew our house away) and in the bus this was discussed so excitedly as if we were all living in the Sahara and snow was something totally alien...

And a strange Swedish lady advised as not to be stupid and stop those dangerous snow-fights at once! Who would have guessed that these balls of fresh, fluffy cold material can turn out to be lethal weapons?

Imagine if she would see us throw Jen in the snow, face first! (it's not or fault that she doesn't know how to fly...)

We are getting a huge snow strom here tonight. Over 15 inches predicted. Woo hoo! Time to bust out the snowmobile.
