People are saying, that dark time is cosy here in Longyearbyen. Tourists have disappeared and life has calmed down after a hectic summer. I agree this :) And people are saying, that it's cosy, when there is a bad weather outside - then you're having a good excuse to stay inside, have candles on the tables and have it cosy with a glass of wine. Agree that also... in principle.
It's -18 degrees Celsius, with strong breeze effective temperature is -31 degrees Celsius. There isn't excuses for not to go for a little trip with dogs - not especially on weekend, when we're having good time! But also our four-pawed friends need in this kind of wind some warm windproof clothes as well - we're not having any thick-fured polar dogs. With their jackets on they don't mind at all about coldness :) And we don't mind that either, as we're fully packed in with wool, down and fur.
But other things... some smart people pack their boats in after summer season. Some other people are so busy, that they won't get it done. And then finally, when they're having time for that, it just need to be done on that -31 degrees effective temperature, strong breeze, and of course when there is pitch dark. Life would have been just too easy to do those kind of things in better kind of conditions...
