Weather or not

No doubt, the weather has been very strange around the world these past few months. Snow in places that rarely see snow, and tons of snow in places where they don't normally see that much. (DC anyone?)

Lisbon has had some of the worst winter weather they have seen in a long time. (Of course this would coincide with our moving here...) No kidding, it has rained almost every day since we got here. Apparently Lisbon had it's coldest winter in 10 years; they even got some snow 30 miles outside of Lisbon, which never happens. January had the most rain of any month in 30 years, and February had the most rain of any month in 24 years. And February is a short month I must add.

Since we arrived, every single person here keeps saying that they've "Never seen the weather like this", and "The winters are usually so mild", and "Normally the sun shines and it's not cold during these months". Needless to say we are really ready for things to warm up and dry out here. With all that said, yesterday and today have been wonderful, and I know there is much more of it to come.
