The temperature is dropping very quickly. It has been averaging between 4 to 10 degrees during the day time. At night time, it can drop even lower. But still no snow.

This year, it is a little tougher getting used to the early sunset and the days are surely a lot shorter now. We need to get used to the darkness and the Swedes make really good use of cosy lighting in their houses.

Nichlas thinks that November is the most difficult month of the year. The early darkness, the wetness, naked trees and the drop in temperature makes it quite depressing at times.

However, the children are just looking forward to the snow and their favourite holiday, Christmas!
