It’s snowing. I can’t believe it. It’s April 10th, and it’s snowing.
Most americans underestimate how far north Europe is. We picture it as being about level with the US, as far as latitude is concerned. Not true. Europe is more level with Canada than the US. Dusseldorf, for example, is on the same latitude as Calgary.
Of course, distance from equator is not the end-all, be-all of saying it’s freakin’ cold somewhere. Nevertheless, it is indeed freakin’ cold here.
It snowed. Last year it snowed on Easter Sunday, which was something like April 19th. I hated it.
