Winter might finally be here
For many weeks we thought Winter was a myth. Our days shifted quickly from having sunny skies, to those with rain clouds, and once or twice there was a good snow. But as a “season;” as an extended period of colorless cold? No, that was not the Zürich to which we are a part.
Then, about two weeks ago, the heavens shifted south. A “Siberian cold front” was pulled toward us by vengeful winds escaping Russia. You might hear “Siberian,” and scoff. It couldn’t be that bad, right? Maybe not on the first day, when temperatures in Celsius were still in the low teens. Then single digits. Then minus single digits. Then minus double digits. And then rivers begin to freeze, ponds turn into play areas, and you realize the myth which was Winter, has finally arrived.
