Since last week the temperature has dropped dramatically. Cold doesn't even come close to what it feels like. It's the kind of icy cold that eats its way into your marrow if you stay out too long without gloves.
I've been waiting for snow the last few days but there hasn't been any in our area. Last year brought quite a lot of snow in Düsseldorf and when i asked J the other day, what we did last year, his response was "nothing". Basically we hybernated the whole time in our over-heated apartment and only when it was necessary to go outside we did.
Winter time there isn't really all that much to do unless of course you head to the mountains and you're into skiing and all that. According to the calendar "Winter" officially starts on Monday, 21 December.

But i checked the weather forecast for the next 5 days and it seems that Sunday will bring snow!
Somehow with snow the feeling of Christmas is more prominent. Which reminds me i still haven't completed my Christmas shopping. Every day our neighbors attaches some kind of new decoration or light to their house, a reminder that Christmas is drawing up closer.
And then there's our window, with our one very lonely hanging mobile. We're going for the "less is more" angle.
Friday's temperature doesn't look too good though. A high of -3 degrees and a low of -6! And if you were too measure how cold it "feels like" meaning with the wind factor [see in grey, gefühlt wie]. Crazy shit, it'll be a whopping -10!
OMG can anyone say, frozen nipples! Time to pack on more layers.
