Am I missing a hint?
I reviewed where my company has sent me for the last 3 Decembers. Are they trying to tell me something?
Dec 2007 (Mellansel, Sweden = temp around -10C)
An unbelievable amount of snow, yet people choose to live there!
Dec 2008 (Helsinki, Finland = temp around +3C)
Note: It is fuzzy, but you can see a temperature display in the upper right hand corner. Above freezing, so no snow. Still very cold!
Dec 2009 (Montreal, Canada = temp around -20C)
Yikes! It was almost as cold as my coldest day ever in Sweden (my personal low temp ever experienced is -26C in Sweden).
At least I got more sunshine in Montreal than on my trips to Sweden and Finland. They only get about an hour less sunlight than home in December (around 9 hours). In Helsinki, Finland there was about 8 hours of sunshine per day. In Mellansel, Sweden there was about 6 hours of sun per day - and it stayed very low on the horizon.
I am a native Southern California guy. What are they trying to do to me???
