Snow in April

I have promised myself that I would avoid the ''weather posts'' but weather in Trondheim is sometimes so overwhelming!

Today is the 3rd of April and it is snowing the whole day long. In my poor greek mind April means temperatures around 17 C and flowers blossoming. Oh well, I definitely don't have such expectations here! And as a friend told me once when I complained about how cold the summer was;'' You haven't decided to come to the North pole to nag for the low temperature!''. You have pretty much nothing to reply after such a comment... He was 100% right. So since then I accepted the situation and even when I was out in a snowstorm, I leaned in a wall, I protected my face with my hands and waited patiently until it came to an end. No complains at all, I swear!!

Now, I'm looking outside my window and the snowflakes are dancing... I have to admit...nicely.  I have been watching the very same picture in November and I was super happy that finally the snow came, in December and in January and then again I was feeling pure pleasure! 

But now?? Oioioi!

If I want to be objective, it is a great day. The sun is shining from time to time, blue sky, fluffy snowflakes, not too cold, not very icy either and long daylight.  

But still!

I suppose the itching feeling comes from the fact that I was ready to repair my bicycle and have a ride, I had planned to go jogging with a friend and the past days I was walking around wearing my thin raincoat, noticing how many twigs had a little green nose at their end... 

If I were to conclude something is once again all the trouble is caused by expectations. This realization comes annoyingly too often to ignore and still seems way too difficult to take into account when your brain is daydreaming and setting plans... Puff!
