As we all have heard: Politicians have decided that the earth is warming by 2 degrees every, 4 minutes?, so you can imagine my surprise when it was snowing in Sthlm the other day. And if that was not enough, the temperature has been around -10 for a week, with even more snow arriving. Funny, cause by my calculations (based on the (hope)Copenhagen summit, the temperature should now be aprox 1 billion degrees with a pure CO2 atmosphere.

Anyway back to the mystery: We live up here, just south of the artic circle. We pride ourselves with our winter sports. We brag about our sturdy cars. We are vikings! Anyhow every year it seems the people of Sthlm is just as surprised when SNOW arrives. Traffic stops, public transportation breaks down, and planes are on the ground.

The tvärrbanan is always delayed from Sickla Udde towards Alvik, but not the other way. So when I am standing one stop before the end location (which holds two trains in a mini depot) how the hell can three trains come one way, but none the other way. WHERE ARE THE TRAINS? I cant comprehend it, and I will not try.

Merry Christmas
