Ungodly amounts of snow to be biking in! Whatever... I'm trying to suck if up and be a Dane about it. These are the lakes in snow though!!! Wow. I cannot play it cool about how beautiful this is, I refuse.
ALSO, notice all the babies that are still out and about. When I've seen babies crying as they're being pushed around in sub-zero temperatures, swaddled to the limit, their parents don't seem to consider that perhaps the cold is a wee bit upsetting. Tough it out, baby.
The snow was cute and pretty for a while but then it went a bit wild a couple days ago. Yesterday I woke up to legit snow... I spent all morning working on my project in my room. But then I remembered what my friend Rasmus once told me... ALWAYS go outside in the winter. Don't let the daylight go without being in it. You will become depressed. This is a fact. He maybe didn't say it that many ways, but that was his general point. So I biked to my friend's house. Normally about a 25-30 minute ride.... that took easily 75 minutes. I was taking it eeeeassyyyy. And with good reason. I had to walk my bike for the first bit because it was through residential streets that aren't as well used. I tried to bike a bit but it wasn't pretty. Frankly, biking in the snow feels like an amusement park ride. It was pretty scary! I ended up spending the night at my friend's place because I didn't want to bike in the dark. The streets were much more clear today. And don't worry, parents, I have a super good helmet, reflectors, three lights, and the patience to move slowly. I made a no passing people in the snow rule for myself because odds are if a Copenhageners doesn't want to go faster, I probably shouldn't either.
I did have a little spill today but I was totally ok. Just slipped and fell pretty gently. After biking to my neighborhood I took the opportunity to make a snow angel since I was already covered in snow on one side. My neighborhood feels even more markedly different from deeper in the city with the snow - very quiet, cosy.
I'm off to work on my project now....oy!
