Well I know it's just a spring haze

 People who say the world is getting warmer, are lying. People who complain we never get any real winters over here are lying as well. Fucking winter. I wish it would end already, but no. More snow and more cold are predicted for at least another 10 days or so. Fucking hell, how am I going to live through it? I HATE being cold. I hate feeling the cold. It hurts. There is nothing remotely fun or exciting about it, at all. 

And of course getting long, cold winters never result in long, warm summers. I hate living in this country. I hate snow. I hate cold. Fuck my life.

So...really snow now. Dry snow because it's freezing. And will for the rest of the week. All cycling lanes were crap when I returned home because of course they hadn't been cleaned. So tomorrow it will most likely be an icy, white mass. Do. Not. Want.

I used to get so happy when it would snow. But last year ruined Winter for me when it just didn't end. And it's too soon! Too bloody soon!

And the cold. Oh the cold. I hate being cold.

Sigh...so many rants. Oh...yeah...one final rant. They're working on the street outside my home. For weeks now really. They removed the tree and plants that stood in front of my house. Now it appears to be a big parking spot. I have no idea if it will stay this way or if they plan on putting the plants back. I hope the latter, because now I feel even less at ease at my home. And there's now almost no green to be seen anymore. In one of the early plans they mentioned how they would bring back more green, but so far I've yet to see it since they removed everything, but didn't return anything to replace it.

Happy note to end this post with: less than three weeks now till the long awaited christmas break! Fuck yeah!

I swear to God it will just never end. Ever. I've been stuck in a nightmare and it will keep on repeating itself forever and ever. The nightmare of snow and ice. Weather predictions keep on promising higher temperatures and less snow, but as the days go by, the forecast changes, temperatures drop instantly and more snow arrives. Sometimes it's snowing loads, but the weather widget will keep on saying it's dry outside with no snow. Last week predictions for this week would be dry weather with temperatures of 5-6 degrees Celsius. This weekend it would be 1-2 degrees Celsius. But now it's all around or below zero again, and the end of the week should have temperatures of 3-4 degrees celsius, with more snow. And I'm sure temperatures will drop even more. We've had almost non-stop snow for 2 months now. I am more than sick of it and I've lost faith that it will ever become Spring. If this weather will remain for another month I think that by then I will officially be depressed and ready to kill myself. There's not even a small sign of Spring: no flowers, no tiny, little, green leaves anywhere. Just grey and white. Over and over and over and over again.

And you would think that after 2 months of snow they would know how to deal with it on the roads. But they don't. Whenever we get more snow, it's dangerous to get to work on your bike. Bicycle lanes/ roads are full of ice and snow. Pisses me off. Cause of course normal roads, for cars, are always carefully cleaned. Also annoys me that when you haven't cleared the front of your house, and someone falls and breaks something, you're responsible for it. But when I travel to work, break my neck because of ice and snow, nobody is responsible for it.

Ugh...can you tell my mood is far from happy? I'm SO sick of this $#%^%$#@@ snow!

Be careful what you wish for...yeah...


Before the Christmas holiday started I hoped for snow. Prayed for a white Christmas. It was fun for a good two weeks, but then work called again and I found it enough. But we got more snow. That finally had all melted away last week and then two days later we got back loads of snow, again! Which turned into ice not much later turning everything into a scary mess. But today it rained a lot so most of it had melted away again. But I just went upstairs and noticed some snow, AGAIN! And it's supposed to snow some more again this weekend, with temperatures below or just above zero. And I'm so so so so SO sick of it now. And to think Winter can really last for another two months makes me so depressed it's not even funny. There have been years in which by February we could have temperatures near 20 degrees Celsius. That's seems to unlikely now. It's supposed to be this crap weather for days if not weeks. And I don't like the cold, but would be okay with it if it would be without the snow and ice everywhere. Seriously...if by tomorrow there's another layer of snow outside I'm going to cry.

Edit January 30th: of course we got more snow. Not a lot, but it's supposed to snow/rain for a few more days. And then it will melt again just before the weekend, but then next Sunday it's supposed to freeze again and also snow again. It feels like a never ending cycle and I'm SO SICK OF IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday I left my home at 10 in the morning to go visit my niece. My parents were babysitting her and I wanted to come over for 2 days as well. The journey was gorgeous, but took long. I had to call my dad eventually cause the train failed to continue it's journey due to the cold and snow. I arrived at my niece at about 1.15. It usually takes about 75 minutes to get there by car, so yeah...

Being around my niece was fabulous! She's such a happy kid, smiling as much as she could. It's weird to be back home again. And my two weeks holiday has also started, but it somehow doesn't really feel like it has. Weird.

And today it snowed so much! It's so gorgeous outside, but of course after tomorrow temperature will rise slightly again and get above 0 degrees celsius with chances of rain. Which means the snow won't last very long. So stupid! hopefully the weather will decide to stay cold so we at least will have a real white Christmas for once!

okay, normally i'm not too keen on snow, but it's so much now, and it's really dry snow, that I like it. It started snowing last night and this morning, when i got up, there was quite some snow outside. And it has been snowing non-stop so there's shitloads of snow outside. It's been 20 years since we've had this much snow.
Had snow fights with the kids at school today, and it took me over an hour to get home, cause i had to walk all the way back. Riding my bike was impossible.
I'm not sure what tomorrow will look like, but i guess it will be an early day, cause I think I might have to walk to school tomorrow.

But I love it, finally some REAL snow in this tiny country!! Yay!
