Now you know how Norwegians got to be good at skiing. Skiing is not a sport, it is a way to get around in snow. To cure winter blues, go buy a plain old fashioned Norwegian cookbook written by someones grandmother and make a few of the simple recipes. You will be so happy with your home made rye bread and your specific meats cut as directed, onion and salt only spice, slow cooked according to grandmothers directions, perfectly made sailors stew, you won’t have time to be sad. And you will rush home to reheat it for dinner the next day. Good food always tastes better reheated the next day. Wait until you do your own reindeer with lingonberries just right. Mastering good simple correctly prepared Norwegian food cooking is how you get through the winter happily. EnJoy.

Great tips! I take vitamin D pills, try to stay active as well (but yes, I wanna hide under a blanket on the couch every now and then LOL), cook lots of warming foods and plan (dinner) parties at home. Good music and fireplaces are good for my mood as well:)

Møllers!!! It can be pouring down on me, my sight going to work can be limited to 10 m because of the dense fog but nothing brings me in bad mood cause I swallowed my legal happy pills 🙂

Can understand why Norwegians or scandanavians in general look forward to the white stuff…it brightens their day, gives some momentum to their efforts to get around and aren’t quite as wet from the flaky rain?
