So when we started getting more snow in January it was kind of nice.

That’s pretty cold! Before moving to London I lived in southern Norway, in a mountain area where we had really cold winters and very hot summers, the range was from minus 37 to plus 38 Celsius! After moving to London age 35 I was so pleased that I would never have to shovel snow ever in my life, and I don’t miss the snow at all! But it often feels colder here in London when it is minus 2 than when it was minus 15 in Norway, completely different air and humidity. <br /><br />Your photos were lovely, reminded me of a proper winter, but I still don’t miss it :-)HELENEhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16112289914239038835noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-84210557385112135602012-01-14T17:11:41.972-06:002012-01-14T17:11:41.972-06:00I grew up in CA but love snow.
