Winter came instantly

Looking through the window to snowy trees and roads it is now hard to believe there was no snow at all only a week ago. The snow fell in one night and covered everything. Not a small amount of the first light and shy snow like it usually happens in November. This time the winter came instantly. The temperature fell from zero to -26^oC in one day (that's from +30 to -15 degrees Fahrenheit). I don't remember ever having such a cold weather in November. It's not January after all! In January you know the winter is in the middle, the daytime is growing and the spring is going to come soon. In November when the long winter is all ahead, such a rapid start frightens.

My car behaved perfectly in the cold. It started fine on the coldest morning when many other cars could not. That's good. I don't like public transport at all and I especially hate it when it's cold. My wife asked when we were going to finally move somewhere to a warmer place. I said that would not be until our retirement. She did not look very satisfied by the answer.

They say it will go warmer by the end of the week -- up to -10^oC (15^oF). That'll be better. I still hope the coming winter is not going to be as cold as the last one when we used to have -35^oC (-30^oF) for over two weeks. I wonder where's there the global warming everyone is talking about?
