So how is Dutch weather in the winter?

Dutch people are good at two things. Complaining about the weather and complaining about prices. I have apparently adopted the former talent.

Cold. Wet. Dark. In that order XD. I have endless amounts of adjectives (all of them negative) to ascribe to Dutch weather in any of its seasons. XD

We’re hovering somewhere between the fifties and forties right now (And they call that a warm autumn) but it can go down to ten degrees or so in January.) (Man, I hate farenheit. It makes no sense.)

Yesterday it rained, the sun shone, and we had gusts of wind, all at the exact same moment.

There are generally ten seasons: Spring, winter (reprise), second spring, one week of summer where it’s blindingly hot, wind, after-summer (the only decent time of the year), wet, pre-winter, leaves, and winter.

It’s either so dry that it doesn’t rain for weeks and a bunch of trees just straight-up die, or it’s so wet that full-sized tractors need to be towed out because they’re so deep in mud. (It literally left a four/five foot hole.)

We get at least two windstorms a year, so bad some glass panels fly out of the greenhouse, and snow or ice. (Which are actually pretty fun, tbh. Last year it froze hard enough that we could skate. Same year we had snowdrifts up to my knees. Yep, that was a year.)

*Rereads the six paragraphs of complaints and nods, satisfied that nobody will ever raise the topic of weather because I can and will write six more paragraphs (That was a threat)*

In short, it’s a cold frog-country and burning rage at the weather is the only warm thing here.

Lol! I’m definitely imagining Yila having some really bad days and then one day just randomly deciding that she’d rather be friends with Sahar than be on her bad side as it would take wayyy less energy!

LOL, I think Sahar is just going to be consistently nice to her, but who knows! (I’ll try to write a post later today!)

I SO AGREE!!!!!! I mean honestly brother sister dynamics are always amazing no matter how you do it,  but this one is my fav! And I really want to read about Gavril and Liorah…

Oh, they are. Sibling relationships are the BEST! LOL, I actually had Liorah in here for… almost a year XD I kicked her out because she was phsycologically torturing Lorcan. XD (Read: She was attacking his ego. It did not go down well XD)
