Daniel And His Snowracer
Canon Powershot SD500, ISO 50
Daniel loves snow. Too bad we don't have any. It's unbelievably warm in Sweden. Today we're looking at +8 (45 F) or so and green grass. The photo above is from exactly one year ago when we got lots of snow and kept in for many months. And we had a blast. The Snowracer and his plastic sled are favorites during the snow filled months in Sweden.
Don't get too excited and mention the global warming epidemic which I think is bullshit. At least we won't know if it's true or not for another 10 000 years or so. People who know much more than I do estimate that the earth is 4.5 billion years old. And we are declaring global warming after a few years of milder temperatures? Please. Many countries, especially U.S., China, and Russia, are for sure poisoning the earth with all kinds of crap but we won't know until later how much effect that has on the climate. Temperatures on earth went up and down much more than today hundreds or thousands or years ago. And back then there were no industries .
Regardless of the reasons for the warm weather, we miss the snow here in Sweden. We love that we have all four seasons although the winters are a bit dark. Especially without snow. Our son can be out for hours playing games in the snow. The games usually involve his father pulling him around the neighborhood, several times, up and down the many different slopes. I do it with pleasure, it's so satisfying seeing my son have fun in the snow.
Perhaps the mild winter means we will have snow in June? I seriously doubt it but we do want some snow. And soon. Please!??
Amazing picture. We’ve never had anything like that in Alabama, although our leaf piles do get rather large sometimes.
all i can say is that it’s so f**king hot in NY that I miss the snow like crazy - it’s hot and raining here at the same time - global worming anyone ?
great pic
My daughter has started lamenting the lack of snow recently.
“I’m not gonna want to go sledding when I am older ya’ know”
Can’t wait to take Erik up to Lake Tahoe to get him to experience the snow. But on the climate note - living in Sacramento,CA - we usually dont get freezing weather - but this Thursday we are going be around 17F which by here standards is going to be unbelievably cold.
That snowracer looks like a whole lot of fun :D
