It begins :rubshands:

No doubt it will freeze up again shortly, b. Frozen, dirty slush. Lovely.

I must admit that having had to travel a lot to Scandiwegia in recent years has had the effect of making me slightly less depressed by our winters.

However bad it gets, I can always reconcile myself to it by thinking 'Well at least I'm not in Finland/Sweden/Norway'.

Conversely, I quite prefer winters in Germany at least this bit of it. Christmas markets may be a bit cheesy but they tend to cheer people up. And it can snow and people just get on with it. Bit of a hard slog when it gets to February mind

February has the twin advantages, though, of being a/short and b/ the last month of winter. Spring is on the way in February, so you can live with the ghastliness more easily. That for me is why November is such a cünt.

I don't mind it so much these days since I started missing most of January. Once February arrives it feels like survival is feasible.

Yes. Of course, my view is also affected by the allotment. This time of year is dreadful, since there's simply nothing to do. It's too wet to dig and for most things it's too early to plant. All you can do is make sure the ground's clear and manured ready for spring.
