Are you absolutely sure you want to complain about the weather? 

[Fen Shen]

Here, the weather changes all the time - sun, clouds, rain, sun again, always accompanied by heavy wind.
However, I managed to find motivation for some running and am really glad I did so. Haiz, I can totally relate to this:

being even a few hours outside in the forest helps a lot. I feel like any time in the forest is never wasted.

And I also know that it is sometimes weird to hang out with people that aren't exactly your demographic. On Tuesdays, I'm training with a bunch of nice old folks (age 45 up to 70+). Sometimes there are situations when I feel like an outsider because I am SO YOUNG compared to them. But most times, I benefit from their experiences and it is nice to have these "special friends". I simply get to know more different points of view than what is represented by my close social surroundings.

(Hisses at the snow) I have had enough of you! You white fluffy fiend! (Is really happy with the warm springy weather, but the weather peoples keep mentioning a possibility of snow. . .)

I must confess I am not too fond of spring. The roads are all wrecked the sidewalks have turned into a minefield of ice, mud, puddles, and dog poo as the snow recedes. There is dust everywhere from all the rock and dirt that was thrown on the streets to make the thick layer of ice and snow that formed over it disappear.

The weather is fantastic though. Sunny with nice fluffy clouds. It's the perfect time to play outside if it wasn't so muddy and wet.

Totally did not steal that from someone's thesis on catchment geomorphology in order to seem clever, not at all...

do you...... do you want an umbrella

I've never actually owned one. Maybe I should invest.

Well, seeing as I had rain, snow, and EVIL EVIL HAIL (all combined with a cold wind that was also EVIL) in the span of like 12 hours. Well. Yes. Yes I do.

It's ok, Iceland's taking one for the team.

...I had to google up so many parts of that reply it's not even funny. Well actually it was pretty funny but my brother the geologist would probably disown me if he knew.

In finland we are actually getting sun for few days and most of the snow has at last melted away and i can go outside without my jacket now 

EDIT: Also my parents just came back from denmark! They also brought back some gifts and danish kronor. Got me thinking, why is there a hole on the lower value coins?

So you can identify it/ save metal spent making near-worthless coins.

How much even is a 1 danish kronor? Can you get like a candy bar for it?

We had almost not snow here this winter, and a winter without it is not a winter for me : I propose an exchange for one day, it's very sunny for the spring here

You can't get anything for it.

I can accept that. On another weather note, we had our first tornado storm a couple days ago, and man was it fun. We didn't get a tornado, and nobody was hurt by the hail/wind/flooding. So it was all cool.

My mom was talking about me being born, and I started singing the 'Push it' song.

[Haiz]

i thought the sky orb's presence yesterday meant we had a good change going on here, but no, I woke up to snOW? Lauufeeeyyyyyyyyyyy take your weather back where it came from or so help me
