Randomly got the idea to do an interrail trip this summer [1], asked a friend about it and we immediately started wildly planning and throwing ideas around. Really hope we’ll actually pull through on it, it’s something I’ve wanted to do for a long time, I’m excited!
okay not entirely randomly, I’ve had the idea in passing several times ↩︎
Here in Australia if you’re brave you can wear shorts, otherwise long sleeved clothing and maybe a jacket is fine. I say “fine”, but it’s still bloody cold
I live in northwest Washington state. Typical winter weather is cold (low 40s/high 30s) and rain. We usually only get snow in the lowlands once, maybe twice, in a season. That said, it’s not always nice snow. It’s usually accompanied by northeast winds. I don’t snow when it’s a nice blanket, but for us it’s usually in drifts. And our house has a nice open field across the road so we get high drifts (three-five feet). Worse is when you get a silver thaw (freezing rain that coats everything in sheet of ice). That’s the most dangerous thing in winter.
