november stockholm

The pros about November/first winter month in Sweden being this mild and snow-free (touch wood!);

no dangerous icy patches,
thus you can walk faster,
you can wear much less clothes than usual this time of the year,
it feels like a British winter,
the electric bill is more manageable

The cons about a mild, snow-free November;
most days are unbelievably dark and gloomy,
thus the energy levels are pretty low
(despite vitamin D supplements etc)

But despite feeling a bit low due to the lack of sun and overall light I have to say that the no icy roads and streets really is a huge relief. So thank you lots and lots for that so far, winter!

And yes Stockholm manages to look pretty pleasing no matter weather, lucky her.
