More Snow Tomorrow: Surviving winter as a foreigner in Denmark

Published: Feb. 2, 2014, 8:33 p.m.

I\u2019m looking out the window as I record, and it\u2019s snowing again. It\u2019s pretty, but it\u2019s not a novelty any more. It\u2019s been like this for the past couple of weeks, Danish winter weather. Nearly every day there\u2019s fresh snow and ice.

When I wake up on winter mornings, it\u2019s still dark, and cold, and I can hear the wind whistling outside my window.\xa0 Every day I think, ahhhh, I don\u2019t want to get up.\xa0 But I do.

Of course everyone in Denmark suffers a little bit during the winter.\xa0 But I feel particularly bad for people I can see come from warmer climates, and are experiencing one of their first winters here.\xa0
