Blahsel

After last week's snow (which continued through the weekend but didn't really stick), we've reverted to the more typical gray, wet and dreary Basel weather. While winters probably aren't as bad as Seattle or the U.K. or Holland in that regard, I still find it hard to get used to these long stretches where it's cold and wet--not quite cold enough to snow, but damp enough that the chill goes right through you, and you're constantly hanging coats to dry and tracking water into the house. And I have been told that Basel is one of the sunniest cities in Switzerland! Blah, I say. Blah.
