Things To Do Outside In Winter: Fill & Download for Free

Do you know how you deal with harsh cold when it happens?You stay inside. My house is 21°C every day of the year. Completely pleasant.When you must go outside, how do you deal with harsh cold?You put a jacket on, gloves if you will be outside for more than a few minutes.But normally, you get in a warm car, or on a warm bus, on a warm train, and then walk into another warm building, like work or school.However, most winter days are perfectly lovely. You put your jackets on and go for a walk with your family and get some sun. The air is bright and fresh.And our summers? Our summers are wonderful.Its not even always all that harsh in winter.The cold is easy to deal with. The important matters informing immigration decisions are other things.

Things have come a long way since we had to wrap up in furs and huddle together with the goats in huts made from tree branches, around a fire.If I count the hours I spend outdoors on a typical day, I barely clock up more than 30 minutes, if that. From the house to the car, from the car to he office, and back again in the evening.We breathe heated indoor air a good 98% of the time, and when we go out, we dress for it. It’s easy, too. Just a big jacket with a hood. Takes 20 seconds to put on.That time of year where we live “astronaut style” is about six months. The winter half of the year in my part of Sweden looks like this, from November to late April:Then comes late April and May, when everything thaws and things quite suddenly turn green:And then, in June, July, and August, and a bit into September, we get these unbelievable summers where the sun never seems to set and the lakes get warm and we swim in them:And then, in late September, autumn sets in and lasts about two months, into November:And then, about halfway through November, things get pretty windy, the leaves disappear, and the frost comes.And then, the snow begins to fall:Since it has been asked also what kinds of things people do outside in winter, here some examples.This is actually a classic Volkswagen race on a frozen lake:People out sledding, doing errands in the village:People actually actually sun bathing and roasting chestnuts by the frozen lake:Out with the snow mobile:Snow clearing around the house can be fun:My wife enjoying some April sunshine as the ice recedes:

My grandmother had one of theseHers was very much like the one on the left (A). These are iceboxes.Every week, a guy with a huge block of ice would drop by and put the huge block of ice in the ice box. That would keep everything in the ice box refrigerated for the whole week as the ice melted.In winter, you just put the same sorts of things outside in a protected box in the snow.My grandmother was also an expert at doing thisHome canning. She would do peaches and pears, which were cheap when in season during the summer. You would buy a few bushels, get a lot of sugar, and use a lot of boiling water. Then you were set for the year.But, mostly, my grandmother just shopped every day for dinner.In the other direction were groceries and her brother the butcher.
