Lots of Snow

[Tiago]

Snow? I only saw it 3 times in my life...

Here in Lisbon, today, is about 15 degrees celcius.
We usually only have snow in one montain in Portugal that has 2000m high.
sometimes when temperature goes bellow 5 degrees in the north it snows a little, but nothing compared to the rest of europe.
Different weather, here in Lisbon, last year we had some days 0 degrees, witch is a lot for us, and didnt snow...

You definitely wouldn't like it here in the UK at the moment then where it has been below freezing for a few weeks now. -6 deg celcius for the past week where I live.

We have a Chinese student staying with us and this is also the first time she has ever seen snow. In fact it is the first time she has been outside of the southern region of China she is from, where it is always hot. She hasn't taken her coat off yet, not even in her room. I expect she is even sleeping in it!

But at least she is getting on with it. We had an Italian student before her who only stayed for a few weeks before moving house to live with a friend. When she arrived it was still about 15 Deg outside and we had the house was at 20 degrees without needing the heating, which we like. She was constantly moaning how cold it was and if we could put the heating on. So I bet she is moaning now!

It snowed a bit, and settled. Not too deep. The big problem now is the ice forming as it is so cold. I got into work late, and left early. Today was a good day.

My wife didn't even get to work (she drives, and her employer said flat out don't bother trying), so it was an even better day for her

I was in Finland for christmas, and there was a lot of snow, and -20. Coming home again, it was around 0, but since 3 days we have -8 here, and no snow (yet). They say in the forecast that the snow coming all the was from the UK will strike us on the weekend.

But I have to mention that -20 in Finland feels a lot less cold than -2 in Luxembourg. It's not windy, and there's no humidity at all. After sauna, I went without t-shirt into the snow, first time in my life I did this, and it was really great, felt so refreshing, never would have thought that
