Who's winter's new companion?
Never expected I would get the day off but sometimes, the truth is just hard to believe. This would give me the chance to kick back and loosen up a little, at least just for today. So, I've been here in Switzerland for at least a month now and the weather here has really got my attention.
As you all know, the month of December marks the beginning of winter -- the season with the shortest days, lowest temperatures and not to mention, the only season to bring along a companion named 'snow'. Now, I might just have to re-think that all over again cause I think it broke up with snow and has brought someone else instead. Who? Well, let me drop you a clue. It falls from the sky when the clouds are dark.
Get it?
Don't get it?
Anyway, the answer is 'rain'. Yeah, rain came tagging along with winter this year. Ok, maybe not came tagging along cause technically, rain has never left as it's there all year long. However, it just felt so weird seeing a wet winter instead of a white winter. I really hope that it wouldn't last long because I certainly wouldn't want to pick a wet Christmas over the classic white Christmas, if given the choice.
I know it's just the beginning of winter but things were much different back then, about 2 to 3 years ago when around this point of year, the streets would have been covered with thick layers of snow. What are the causes then? Truth be told, I have no freaking idea. Do you think it's got something to do with global warming? Again, who knows? Let's just say mother nature has gone nuts -- either by itself or driven crazy by us humans. Well, hope it snows sometime soon cause Christmas is approaching ever closer as the days fly by.
That's the weather report for today and you'll be the first to know if it ever snows anytime soon. See ya next time! Gotta go enjoy the rest of my day before it ends!
