Balmy Wintertime Malmö

I’ve been saying that the weather has been pretty mild here, and now I have proof. All you naysayers who were like, Kate has finally lost her marbles once and for all, poor thing thinks that it’s warm in Sweden during the winter. Next thing you know, she’ll be telling us that there aren’t any polar bears there, either. 

Proof, I tell you! PROOF!

I took this photo on Malmö’s main shopping street, Södra Förstadsgatan, during the period between Christmas and New Year—conveniently called the “mellandagar,” or “in-between days,” in Swedish. The picture was taken at 17:04:44, give or take a few milliseconds. Not really the warmest part of the day, and yet, and yet…

Against all odds, one brave coffee shop had set up outdoor seating, and people were flocking to it, plopping themselves down in the cold, damp, overcast weather, out with their coffees and coats on. Unbelievable.

A mellandagar miracle.

    I say whatever you have to  do to get through the long dark  and cold Winters in Sweden. Even if that means sitting outside  in the  cold enjoying a cup of coffee and a sweet roll!! :o )
