Warmer again :-)
The weather has changed rather dramatically from freezing cold to rather nice and warmish. 7C (44,6F) as highest so now everything is muddy again :-) The wind has stayed though. One good thing is t…

I almost missed my doctors appointment today, being at home all the time has made me forget what date and day it is 😀

I almost missed it :-)
We woke up to a cold and foggy world today which, despite the cold, is one of my favourite weathers :-) So as soon as it was light enough the dogs and I walked out to the bog. If I had known the …

Cold morning but when the sun shines it gives away quite a lot of heat and then the world feels right again.

Cold again but that also means no mud on the floors, I do try to find something positive even if it is winter 😀

The Cottage by the crane lake.
Another cold day, the temperature reached 0C (32F) as highest and to be honest that’s not so cold this time of year now days. I remember one year, about 21 years ago when winter started with …

It's getting warmer but instead we've gotten cold winds. Well as long as it doesn't snow 😀

I guess he was hungry.
So it is warmer but instead we got a wind that makes everything feel colder. The dogs and I have been in the forest mostly so we haven’t felt much of it to be honest. Nights can still be a bi…

Cold and sunny but now they say it'll warm up again. I do like that but that will also mean less sunshine and muddy roads.

They say it’ll warm up again.
So another really nice and sunny day but rather cold. I could see the wind power plants up on the mountain moving with the wind but that wind didn’t reach us down on the ground. We walked dow…

Nasty wind.
Less cold today but we’ve had a nasty, bitterly cold wind blowing almost all day so it has been rather unpleasant to be outdoors. It was totally calm on our morning walk though so that was …

Still waiting for that snow to arrive. Well to be honest we have actually had some but so little that it’s hard to find :-) :-)  They are threatening us with more later on though so I guess w…

Cold but sunny once again but the snow is closing in on us, I'm not happy about that at all. I can only remember liking snow one time in my entire life 😀

The snow is closing in.
We might get up to two decimeters (eight inches) of snow from tonight and until Friday afternoon so I decided to go to the store already today so I don’t have to drive in that garbage weather…
