I slept in this morning till nearly 07:00, because the plan had been to ride in to the office with

lord_kjar when he went in to change the tapes for backup (other than that task he has the day off today), and then walk home. But by the time I did my morning workout and was dressed, lunch packed and ready to go he was still asleep. Since it was -33 C (-27.4 F) outside I didn't see any point in trying to ride my tricycle--if the breaks and gear shift both froze into position last week at -22 they certainly won't work today. So I decided to walk to work and woke him up enough to let him know, and suggested that once he went in to change the tapes he could call me and see if I were ready to come home. (The exact time they are changed isn't important, so he didn't have to get up that early, he had only thought to do so because getting it done first thing means he can't forget it.)

The walk in was lovely. Since we have (at long last!) had six days in a row of temperatures decently to well below freezing, and it was nice and cold today I decided it was probably safe to take the short cut--head across our field down the hill to the bottom of our property, then turn to the left and walk on the ice to the road and then take the bike path as normal (the total trip is at least half a km shorter than going around by the road).

Since I was getting such a late start (out the door at 08:14), the sky was mostly light with the impending sunrise, but there was a beautiful crescent moon still visible on the southern horizon, with a planet nearby, and the trees were all nicely frosted with ice crystals.

We haven't had much snow yet this winter, and it has rained on top of the snow, so the cover is thin and crunchy, and it was easy walking across the field. The neighbour's dog cuts across our yard right at the base of the hill at the top of the field often enough that it has worn a track into the snow there, and it has also occasionally gone down to the bottom of our field on the same path that I take. There are deer tracks down near our black currant bushes, and plenty of rabbit tracks.

So far no snow machines have been driving on the ice, but a dog has walked across it, going the same direction I wished to go, so I followed's its tracks to the road.

I can report that my down jacket, which I bought back in 1994 when first I moved to Fairbanks, is still plenty warm--by the time I got to the office (47 minutes after leaving the house) I was kind of sweaty, and needed to go rinse off in the bathroom sink before starting work. On the other hand, my cheeks and nose were rather cold. It was necessary to occasionally take my hands out of a mitten and hold my face as I walked to keep it comfortable.

It is so nice to have proper winter weather again, and to have a chance to get outside to enjoy it. I am also pleased to report that I had proper energy and motivation for work today, taking care of a fair bit of correspondence when first I got into the office, and then heading to the lab to play with my laser. I set up a new (practice) experiment, with slightly different settings than the last time I ran one (so I can see what sort of effect the change has on the results), and when it was a bit more than half way through I got a call from

lord_kjar saying that he was done with the tapes and on his way to the grocery store by Uni. I let him know I was soon done, and closed all of the open windows on the computer not directly related to the experiment. After it finished I copied the data over to the Uni H drive (which I can access from any Uni computer if I am logged in), and when I was nearly done with that he called to say that he was done at the store.

So I closed the last of the programs, turned off the gas supply to the laser and ICP-MS, turned off the vacuum cooling pump and the air conditioning unit, and hurried up to my office to put back my office computer and get my coat and boots. By then it was nearly 12:30, and there was a lovely orange sunset beginning in the southern sky.

He was in a bit of a hurry to get home, since C had called him to say that the power upstairs was off, and the UPS attached to his computer was beeping, but there was still power in the basement. She couldn't see any fuses in the basement fuse box that needed replacing, so he wanted to hurry home and check the outside fuse box--we have had those fuses blow before, and when they are out there is no power to the heater, and while I love winter, we also love the part where the house is warm.

However, once we got home and checked, none of those fuses looked like they needed changing, either. He then double checked the basement fuse box, and C was correct, non of them needed changing. So he went back outside and tried changing each of the fuses on the line into the house in turn to see if it helped. It didn't. So then he called the power company.

They said that our neighbours in #65 had already called with the same complaint, and that they had a team on the way to deal with it. Sure enough, about an hour after he called first the rest of our power went out for about two minutes, then it all came back at once. Yay for easily solvable power issues.

Now it is mid afternoon, and I need to decide which of the many items on the to-do list are something I want to do today and tomorrow. I don't expect to get much done on Saturday, since it is his 40th birthday, and we have invited people over to help him eat smörgåstårta and birthday cake.

First of all, I am really delighted with the weather we have been having lately. We have had six days in a row with temperatures below 0 C, and on Friday night/Saturday morning we got a couple of decimeters of snow, which, thanks to the nice weather, is staying nice and soft and fluffy and beautiful, and I am ever so much happier. This is so much better than the warm and rain we had for my birthday and the couple of days thereafter--it got so dark and dismal after the last of the previous batch of snow had melted away from the yard, fields, and forest (while leaving wet ice on all the roads and walkways). The Swedish weather service (via my phone app) says that we should have good temps for at least the next ten days (which is as far ahead as they predict), so it will be winter at least through new years. I hope it lasts longer than that, and I have started counting the number of days in a row we stay below zero.

Secondly, Frostheim Jul was fun! The hall was supposed to open at 11:00 for a crafts afternoon, followed by a potluck feast in the evening. I decided that we should bring the moraharpa, in addition to my hammer dulcimer and

lord_kjar's nyckleharpa and violin, so Saturday morning while I was outside shoveling snow from the walkway onto the sledding hill (to make it bigger) he went downstairs and built new arms for the stand we had built for the cello last week so that the stand would hold the moraharpa (since changing that one would be much faster than building a whole new stand).

He was nearly finished with that when it was time to head to the hall (we had the key, so needed to be on time!), so he drove me and my stuff (crafts projects, hammer dulcimer, and food) over to the hall, then he returned home and finished up the project and then brought the rest of the musical instruments plus the four or five things I had thought of that I should have brought but didn't.

I was alone in the hall for a while, which gave me a chance to get my stuff unpacked and set up some tables for craft stuff, and then I was joined by the weaver I have become a patron for (I have bought so much of her tablet weaving) and her husband, and we had a delightful time chatting and working on projects for a while. Then I decided it was time to start my broccoli pie and went into the kitchen about the time that the fourth person arrived.

E. is a delightful person--I first met her a couple of years ago when I was one of the staff members to accompany the undergrad geology students to Cyprus. She was the only one of the students on that trip with whom I really clicked--she just seemed like the kind of person who would blend in with my group of friends. When we landed at the airport in Luleå and one of my friends picked me up I found out that, actually, she is friends with him and a bunch of other people I enjoy spending time with. Since then our paths have crossed a few times, and, when she joined a student club for fire dancing and they decided that they wanted to become jesters the group joined Frostheim to get help with costumes.

What I didn't know about her before this weekend is that in addition to common interests in gaming, geology, and medieval stuff, she is also a very talented musician. She has been playing clarinet since she was nine, and this summer while at the Visby Medieval Week she purchased a Renaissance style olive wood clarinet which has the sweetest sound. She had it along this weekend, and she, I,

lord_kjar, and a couple of our other friends spent a good sized chunk of the day playing music together. For the songs I didn't know she would tell me a few notes to just play as accompanying cords or single notes, and it was so much fun. She is really interested in learning to play dulcimer, and she is a good enough musician that when I slid the sheet of paper under the strings to reveal which note was which she could play simple tunes right away. So we have planned that we will get together regularly come January for music lessons--she will teach herself to play dulcimer, and then teach me.

By late afternoon we had both the group of musicians at one end of the hall, and a group of crafters on the other--some people working on their own projects, others learning tablet weaving (from my weaver). Then, as time for the feast approached more and more people arrived. I forgot to actually count, but given that each table seats eight people we had to have had somewhere between 30 and 50 people on site for the feast (I am not certain if that count includes the kids, of whom there were at least seven of them who appeared to be having lots of fun running around).

The parents all packed up and took their little ones home fairly early, and when they started packing everyone else cleaned up too, which meant that we were ready to lock up the hall around 22:00. One of our friends, who lives a good hour or so north of here, had been enjoying some mead and had had enough that he shouldn't be driving, so I offered to drive him back to our place, where he could sleep over and head home the next day. He appreciated that--he had expected to sleep at the hall, like we did for Norrskensfest last month. I appreciated it to, since it meant we could put our chests and bags of stuff in his car, and the musical instruments in ours and get everything home in only one trip instead of two.

Sunday morning we hung out with him a bit, then had some time for projects before it was time to go to the airport to pick up our current houseguests--an old friend of ours who moved to Stockholm a couple of years ago, and a friend of his who is visiting from Colorado. They are out at another friend's house for a gaming session tonight, but we opted to stay home and relax.

I have mentioned repeatedly how weird our winter was this year, and how little snow we got. I just found this photo from a year ago on 21 April, 2013, which shows how much snow was left at the time:

spring 2013

Coincidentally, the earliest walkway photo progress I took this year was also on 21 April, as you can see, not a drop of snow remained on the ground:

April 2014

It truly was a weird, low-snow winter. Our next door neighbour normally has a big bonfire in his yard for Valborgsafton (31 April), but this year, while made ready the pile of logs weeks ago, he opted not to light it, because the field was naught but dry grass (last year the grass near the fire was still snow-covered), and he didn't want to risk starting a runaway fire.

Our choir normally performs traditional spring songs at the big Valborgasafton bonfire at the University, but this year, since we are such a small choir, we opted to instead go do two indoor performances at some old-folks homes, to bring spring to those who can't get out and see it for themselves. Afterwards half of us (which is to five--it is a SMALL choir this year) came over to our place and sang for the neighbours at their bbq--while they didn't have the bonfire lit, they did have a small fire for sausages etc.

I also found this photo, from March 2013, which shows why we still had a decent amount of snow left at the end of April last year:

This year the deepest bit of snow in the yard was only about 1/3 of what we had left in March last year...

As anyone who actually reads my journal is already aware, it has been a very strange winter here in Luleå. While we did have some nice, below freezing temperatures, and it did snow every so often, pretty much every time it snowed within one to three days thereafter it warmed up to above freezing +/- a bit of rain, and the walkways and streets became icy and slippery. As a result, every next time it snowed we were careful to leave a bit of snow on the walkways (when there was enough snow to bother shoveling at all) because the snow isn't slippery to walk upon (until it warms up enough, again, to melt it). However, if "winter" this year is defined as that period of time when the temperatures were often below zero for 1 to 15 days, followed by 2 to 7 days of temperatures a little above zero, followed by 1 to 15 days of below zero, repeat..., then winter has been over for a couple of weeks now, and we are well into "spring", by which I mean temps ranging from -1 to +8. Never mind that "spring" started well more than a month earlier than it usually does.

The deep puddles on the roads that happened at the beginning of this long warm spell are mostly gone and the pavement has dried, but the snow in the yards and fields is still present in large patches. Our side yard which has a fair few trees growing in it and native vegetation ground cover instead of grass has lost all of its snow (since not so much made it to the ground with the trees there to collect some in their branches), but our front yard/field still has a good bit of icy stuff that started out as snow. However, very near the house the melting has been much faster, and there is bare dirt (literally--that area was the part we did landscaping on last autumn, and no grass had time to grow in before winter started). However, the walkway itself is only slowly becoming exposed, and then only with lots of help. It turns out that the layers of "little bit of snow" we had been leaving on the walkway have condensed into a single layer of dense ice that is 10 to 15 cm thick.

Since this week has been mostly 6 to 8 C above freezing I have made a bit of time each day to chop some of that ice away, and now have exposed about half of the walkway itself. I am hoping I can get all of it chopped clear before the week is over, and that the ground along it starts to thaw quickly, since it would be nice to finish setting in the cobblestones around the cement blocks that make up the center of the walkway. While I would have preferred to have had a real winter, since we didn't I am hoping that it means that I can get an early start on summer projects, and the walkway will be a good thing to work on while we wait for enough thawing over in the earth cellar area to resume that project.

Speaking of projects--we have managed to rip out half of the floor in the basement room that has mold issues. Last night. Starting after choir. Doesn't everyone start major projects at 21:00 when one needs to be out the door at 07:00 the next morning? Here's hoping we can find time to get the rest of it out of there soon, so that we can scrub away the mold, patch the holes in the concrete floor where they bolted the supporting floor boards down, re-paint the floor, and finally move the stuff back into the room. I am going to like the new, higher, ceiling. Not that it will be very high. With the raised floor I can reach my knuckles to the ceiling without standing on my toes, without it I can only reach my finger tips to the ceiling without standing on my toes.

In other news, the GIS class I have been sitting in on had an exam today--a delightfully easy one in my opinion. We needed to explain about how and why tables are linked in a GIS project (with a sketch), explain about cylindrical map projections, explain why a polar orbit for satellites is useful for GIS purposes, and two other easy questions I seem to have forgotten. Now I just need to make time to finish up the last two labs for that course and it will be done.

I have already mentioned what a mild winter we have been having--while we got our first snow in November this winter we had naught but alternating freeze-thaw cycles for the rest of November and all of December. We got snow in between the thaws, but not much. The in-between freezes were hard enough to stabilize the firm crust that the snow became, so that when I got home after the conference earlier this month the world was properly white, but where were the huge piles of snow that should be here? January managed to keep decent temperatures--between -15 and -35 mostly, so no more melting, but also pretty much no new snow. A few times we got a millimeter or three accumulation, but the only two days in January that I touched the snow shovel were the 1st and the 31st, and neither occasion took more than 5 minutes of my time.

This has translated into my being able to walk anywhere I feel like walking in my yard, in the forest, or on the (thankfully finally frozen) water between here and the nature reserve, without resorting to huge levels of effort like last January's adventure. However, honestly, I would rather have the snow. I have skis I am not bothering to use, because I just don't need them. But the weirdest thing of all was looking out my kitchen window yesterday and noticing that one of the neighbour's trees already thinks it is spring! That tree has put out enough tiny budlets to make it look pale yellowish green from here, and it didn't look like that a week ago. This is scarily early--the trees shouldn't be showing the early signs of waking before mid to late March. I hope that it is mistaken and that we still have some decent winter left, and perhaps even some real snow. We did get a few centimeters yesterday, which was nice, but still nothing compared to what we should have. Last winter our walkway had berms a meter high bordering it. This last snowfall brought the total berm along our walkway to a whopping elevation of 10 centimeters. Weird, I tell you.

Another disturbing/weird thing in my life is that I seem to have gotten clumsy all of the sudden. I noticed it last week when I dropped a jar of lotion I had just picked up, and I was very relived when the glass didn't break (note: I dropped it before opening it and getting any lotion on my hands, so I can't blame slipperiness). Several other times that day I noticed myself dropping stuff, none of which was breakable, but it was kind of annoying. Then, on Sunday, I had that same lotion jar in my hands, reached for the lid with my right hand to put it back on, and suddenly the jar was no longer in my left hand, but smashing against the floor, glass shards everywhere. While I could blame the lotion in this case, I still can't, because I got it out of the jar with my right hand, put it on my knee with that hand, touched nothing else except the lid, which I did not drop. There was no lotion on the hand which failed to hold the jar. Again, later in the day I noticed things dropping that weren't breakable. Today I managed to drop, and not break, the replacement jar of lotion, even though I had it in my mind that I should be careful. This is a disturbing trend, I am not used to dropping things at all, let alone so often in short succession, and I mention it here as a record, on the off chance that it is a symptom of some problem I haven't noticed yet (like, say, aging, while I feel like I am only in my 20's the calender disagrees).

On the work front we are drawing to a close with all of the cross sections I have been doing, and I hope to return to writing soon. My Master's student is busy doing stuff and will be collecting his samples (without help from me, though I shared some of my thoughts on things to keep in mind while doing it) this week, and my GIS class meets again tomorrow. I have emailed the Swedish Teacher who did last week's diagnostic test to ask if she knows yet which course I will be assigned to and when it meets, because I don't want to be booking meetings with students until I know what my schedule looks like. I also apologized for being in a hurry and writing in English.

Now that winter is, finally (thankfully!) here, and we are enjoying temps around -22 C (-8 F) most days I am finding that I had forgotten the layering lessons from last winter, no doubt, because I never wrote them down. Sure, I know that on warmish winter days I need only my normal full length wool winter coat, and that when it gets really cold I need more than that, but the exact definition of the transition between "warmish winter days" and "really cold" had been forgotten.

I knew that one solution to "really cold" I used last year was to put my huge down coat on over my backpack and normal wool coat (that coat has a pair of heavy over mittens threaded through the sleeves, for putting on over my normal nålbinded gloves). This has an advantage of keeping the water in the camelback pack from freezing, so I can continue to sip water now and then while I walk. I tried this on Thursday, and determined that -22 is NOT really cold, because I hadn't completed the first kilometer of my walk by the time I was sweating, and needed to take off the down coat. I didn't feel for carrying it in my hands, so I wrapped the arms around my neck, and left it to hang as a cloak, which was still too warm, but better than carrying it.

Today I took a shorter walk, but still long enough to determine that today's laying option was better. Today I had been wearing wool tights and a long skirt, so when I went out I pulled on my snow pants over the tights (but under the skirt), put on my normal wool coat, then my fur-lined hood (and linen coif under it, to keep the fur from tickling my neck), and then grabbed the fur sleeve from the same coat I used to make the hood. I pinned a tablet woven band to each end of the sleeve with a long loop between just the right length to hang the sleeve from my neck as a muff (fur side in) to keep my hands warm. This worked much better than the down coat+heavy mittens option of yesterday! for one thing, when I want to take my hands out of the muff to use them, I don't have the big mittens hanging at my wrists getting in the way.

However, I have determined that when I actually sew the fur sleeve into a wool lining to make a pretty muff I should use both sleeves (open them up and then sew them together into a wider tube) so that I can more easily put my arm well into the muff, including the sleeve of the coat. Just what I need, another project idea, as if I don't have plenty of them already...

When I walked into our music/dance/living room tonight to do my yoga I looked out my window and saw a beautiful clear stary night with a large, bright moon causing the snow to sparkle. So I did the logical ting and bundled into,my snow pants, boots, down coat, hats and mittens and went out to enjoy it. There is something magical about doing yoga outside on such a night; I love it! -15 C is so much nicer than those super heated rooms some people do yoga in.

I stayed out till some clouds started coming in. They didn't take long to cover the sky, and, if I am very lucky they will snow on us. Now I am going to do a bit more yoga, witout clumpy boots on, and then go to sleep; there is lots I want to do tomorrow.

I am delighted to report that the weather has taken a major turn for the better. Instead of those dreadful days of +3 C we had for most of Christmas week, I am delighted to report that the weather has taken a major turn for the better. Instead of those dreadful days of +3 C we had for most of Christmas week, which meant huge amounts of snow melting, puddles forming, and roads and "walkways" which were really wet, icy, slippery, and dangerous, and trees looking their worst as dismal brown twigs, we now have wonderful -10 C temperatures, which means that the ice is (mostly) no longer slippery, the trees are once again covered in beautiful white crystals, and, for the first time in days, I was inspired to actually go for a real walk into the forest. The improvement in weather has also improved my mood and energy levels, which is good, since I have lots to do today and tomorrow during the day before we take the night train to Lund (in far, far southern Sweden).

The timing of the improvement in weather amuses me: when I first heard about the 31st Nordic Geological Winter Meeting to be held in Lund in January my reaction was “ick, who wants to go that far south in January?” At the time I was fully confident that up here we would have perfect winter weather, with plenty of snow and temperatures ranging from -20 to -5 C, and no warmer, since that is what one normally has that time of year. I also expected that as far south as Lund (nearly, but not quite as far south as one can go without leaving Sweden) there would probably not be any snow and the temperatures would likely range between -5 and +10 C, which makes rain possible, and, if there is one thing I never, ever want to see again, it is a winter rain. Therefore I didn’t want to attend the meeting, but I signed up for it anyway, because I had so much fun at the Metamorphic Geology Field Symposium I attended back in August, that I wanted to attend the metamorphic session at the winter meeting, too.

Fast forward to this month, which, while it has had days of nice weather, snow fall, and temperatures below freezing, has also been plagued with warm days of rain, snow melting, and slippery roads. It finally got bad enough that I was, frankly, relieved, that we were planning on heading south—if it is going to be so damned warm it is better to have it that little bit warmer, so that there is no snow to melt, and any rain actually gets absorbed into the ground and the wet goes away. Yes, my first choice is to actually have proper winter, but if that isn’t possible, perhaps it is a good idea to leave home for a week, and not be depressed watching my beloved snow melt.

But today the temperatures are lovely, and the weather widget on my phone thinks that the temperatures will hold below freezing for at least the next four or five days, and I can’t help but think that, perhaps, I would rather stay home—if the weather is good I would rather not be away and miss it. Proper winter weather has been too rare in my life the past decade or so, and I don’t want to miss a day if it, if it is happening, now that I once again live far enough north to experience it.

Oh well, I am certain I will enjoy the meeting, I am looking forward to day-tripping 12th Night, and it will be nice to see

linda_linsefors’s parent’s again. Our train departs tomorrow at 20:00, and I will fly home again after the conference on the 10th. If I don’t post between now and then you will know that it is a busy trip.

Life in Luleå continues to be wonderful; the winter weather I love so much continues. There was a brief flirtation with temps just above zero early in the week which, sadly, caused all of the pretty snow and ice crystals which had been clothing the trees to melt away, but the snow cover on the ground and roves survived just fine, and the world is still, mostly, white and wonderful. They are certainly well equipped to handle snow here. Not only are all the streets plowed promptly after each snowfall, but the walk ways are, too. From the neighbourhood in which I am living it is a very nice 10 to 15 minute walk along a path through a small strand of trees to get to the university and closest grocery store (range in time depends upon which building on campus is the final destination). This pathway is wide enough for regular snow plows to clear it, but it is dedicated to people-powered only. Some of us walk, some are being pulled behind their adults upon little sleds, many people ride their bicycles (some of them are carrying skiis on their backs--a truly interesting look), others are pushing the sorts of sleds with runners and handle bars reachable by a standing person.

The only part of winter I've never cared for is that time that is known in Alaska as "break-up", when the snow and ice melt and the ice that has covered the rivers all winter "breaks up" and starts to be carried down stream. Part of what I don't like about it is all of the wet and slush that is generated by a winter's worth of snow melting in only a couple of weeks. However, I don't think it will be as much of a concern in this neighbourhood as it was in Anchorage. They actually haul away a fair bit of the snow here. Today there were people shovelling off the roof of the apartment building, and a small truck plowing away the snow pack that accumulated next to the building as a result. There is now less snow outside of our door than there was before they cleared the roof! This means that when melting time comes there will be less wet and ick to deal with. (However, I am content for spring to delay as long as it will--it will take more than several months for me to become tired of the cold and snow after missing it for so very long!)

Today was my second to last Swedish class for the term (8 classes total!?) so we were working more on review of what we already have been given and listened to the tapes that accompany the text book. This evening

archinonlive and I continued reading aloud in the current children's book, and I'm making some progress on my pronouncation. Since the sounds I am most apt to get wrong are the vowels we've written all 8 of them (A, E, I, O, U, Y, Å, Ä, & Ö) onto a piece of paper and spent some time just saying those sounds, and my attempting to point to the correct one when he said it. This is harder than it sounds. (For those of you who wish to hear it for yourself, the Swedish Alphabet is available to listen to on line here.)

In the early evening we finally did a scouting mission to check out the climbing wall on campus (about five minute walk from here). It turns out that one can buy a day pass for 80SEK (roughly 8€), so we did. The wall is a smallish one in the corner of a gym--it has four ropes, two of which are sloped so that one climbs either slightly inverted the whole way, or more inverted before rounding an edge to a vertical wall again, and a bouldering wall which has a pronounced underhang available for one to climb under/around. This wall won't let people belay without having taken/passed a small course, so rather than climbing with one another

archinonlive and I had to take turns being belayed by one of the girls there. The first route I did was up the gently undersloping wall (the other ropes being engaged just then), and I found it easy--my belayer commented that it looked too easy for me unless I opt to limit myself by using only holds of a certain colour. The second route I did was the much more steeply undercut route (the others being engaged by then). I was pleased to manage getting around that corner and back onto a vertical part of the wall, though I felt like I totally cheated--my belayer didn't leave me any slack, so while on the hard part some portion of my weight was on the harness, rather than my arms and legs. I'm not certain I would have managed that climb without that "cheat" though. In between the two ropes I also played a bit on the bouldering wall, but after the second rope the climbing period on the wall was up and we had to head home. This is probably a good thing--by not being tempted to over do it my arms will still love me tomorrow.

Today's progress report for uni: some uni work in the morning before Swedish class resulted in an e-mail & pdf being sent to my (erstwhile?) boss, and more this evening between climbing and reading aloud resulted in another. The list of things that have to be done before I can really start writing is getting smaller. This month's average hours/week of uni work is looking *much* better than January. But then, there never really was any hope for January getting a decent average hours worked, since I started the month with two weeks of holiday. This month is doing much better, though a good chunk of that is Swedish study rather than work on finishing up the geology research. Still, learning counts!

Current Mood: cheerful
