Hi Humlan. I'm sorry to hear that your winter has been as miserable as in Missouri. I am in Colorado, and the winters are great! We do not have any grey days. I have in mind the comparison to not only Missouri, but also Pennsylvania. PA was dreary all 15 days that I was there in February. When the sun did shine, for its fifteen minutes of fame, we all noticed. "Hey, the sun is out!" Colorado Springs has more sunny days than Miami! Yes, the sun can shine and the cold still take your breath away. I imagine Sweden like that.
