I just got home from playing squash (twice per week from November). It’s freezing. Earlier the sun was shining and the weather looked really beautiful, however as the picture below shows it was a little cold:

During the first days of November it seemed that the winter might be a good one this year as the photo shows: the sea was already covered with ice. However after that it was continuously +7°C – every single day for two months.
