| Winter is coming (Not shown: winter) |
The first flecks of snow fell in the last week of September. I was teaching grade 9 geography and the kids en masse stopped paying attention to the lesson and gazed out the windows. Snow. It melted by midday but that seems almost obscenely beyond the point. Winter is coming.
I experienced 2 weeks of Ulaanbaatar in January earlier this year and it's something to be feared. Minus 40C everyday for 4 months. Lung clogging and cough enducing smoke from the ger camps. Ice everywhere due to a lack of sanding or salting the roads. I grew up in Edmonton but this shit is ridiculous. Winter is coming.
The temperature has really started to dip in the last while. A couple weeks ago, I could read a book and eat lunch outside comfortably without a jacket. Those days are over. Winter is coming.
Everyone knows it. Winter is coming.
