It has been below freezing for several weeks now in the Czech Republic. It is becoming demoralizing as the days progress and the forecast calls for highs in the 20’s and “snow flurries.” My serotonin levels are bottoming out and the once snowy sidewalks have become a continuous network of cobble-stone and black-ice death traps as I make my way to the metro in the morning. But as the old adage goes, “When life gives you lemons, make lemonade.” For the purpose of this post, I’ve modified that to, “When Central European weather fronts give you freezing-ass temps and crusty piles snow, chill your vodka.” Beat’s whining about it, doesn’t it?
