HB COLD

It's official, March sucks in Finland. This has to be the most depressing month of the year...so far. I'm mostly complaining about the weather. The sun has not shown it's face in almost 2 weeks and the snow is a filthy combination of black, grey and off white. As it melts, the snow makes pools of water that make crossing the street almost impossible. We've had snow on the ground for more than 4 months now and there is no way that the snow will go away before the end of April, but hopefully the sun will come out again before that time. And to make matters worse, I forgot what life was like without long underwear, but I will admit that there is a certain comfort level in wearing long-johns.
