Capullo de cobijas

There was a time when one could feel a winter of -15ºC, dress up onlion style (lots of layers) and aweful boots. Just like that, people went outdoors.

Nowadays we have a bright sunny day (cold, yeah but not freezing) and it is February (spring is blessing us since now!) and well, those time when one should be in a cocoon of blankets is passed. Done. And the worst is that I did not do my snowman! Daaaaarn!

The only hope is that as crazy this weather has been, maybe we get some snow, one week, few days. Something. Meanwhile, no more capullo de cobijas.

UPDATE: Few days ago we had snow. Yeiiiiii! It was a nice white surprise, but unfortunately it was fragile, no snowman at all. I took evidence of the nice landscape (smartie me!)

Oh, the snow!

Winter time! (even if I may say, it is still autumn)

Few days ago I took some autumnly pics and was amazed about the yellow, brown, and even some red landscapes... KABOOM!

On Friday, Oct. 26th 2012 the first snow covered Stockholm, yeah, not that much but still, a visual alert that winter is here!

Two years ago, the first snow came on October 22nd, 2010. That winter was SO cold, with so much snow and was like a test of survival skills for me, happily I passed ;-)

On 2011, the winter was so delayed, the first 'snow' came until December. I was afraid I was leaving to Mexico without watching snow over the town. I had few days of snow, you know, for my winter cravings.

This year, the summer was very short. I can say that as my fan was being used for few time, compared to previous summers. In my head, I thought about a colder winter, forecasting snow in October and yes it happened.

Well, time to get the warmer clothes out of wherever they are, gloves, scarves, jackets, boots, etc. And let's not forget about the Glögg and Pepparkakor! The X-mas markets are going to open soon, I will bring you a post about it. I love X-mas markets :-D
