Merry Christmas from Canada! Here I am spending Christmas at my friend's parent's farm in Canada instead of with family in Sweden this year!

@PrimeTime
No, it's very different from winter in Sweden! This week I witnessed freezing rain which coated the bare grass with ice which was a strange sight to see! Couldn't stand up on their gravel laneway because it was covered with ice!

@SandWitch Freezing rain isn’t uncommon in these parts. Days might be a bit longer here in winter than in Stockholm

@PrimeTime
That's what I'm learning about freezing rain! Must be fun to drive in too! Very true, the night starts in Stockholm at about 3:30pm these days!

@SandWitch They had longer days in summer when I was there so figured they’d be shorter now
Yes. Driving in snow and ice can be interesting

@PrimeTime
It's hard to go to bed early in Stockholm during summer because the sun is still shining when I close my bedroom drapes at 10pm!

@SandWitch Yeah was weird. And back up early too. Same in Oslo

@PrimeTime
A good night's sleep requires a lot of pre-planning and self-discipline to just go to bed and pretend that it isn't light outside!

@SandWitch I can imagine. I was only there for few days and spent most of it seeing the city. Didn’t have any trouble falling asleep as I was exhausted from site seeing
