cold

I recently learned (and have been telling anyone who will listen--repeatedly) that the average temperature in Berlin in February is 28 degrees Fahrenheit. As in less than 0 degrees Celsius. As in below freezing. As in: I do not own clothing that will keep me warm in below freezing weather.

But then today, I got to thinking. Below freezing means below zero. Which means snow. Which means that when I arrive in Berlin on January 31, yes it will be cold, yes it will be grey and overcast. But, yes, there will probably be snow. And snow--winter wonderland--that is something I can definitely handle.
