There’s a saying in Scandinavian culture, where winter days are sunless and icy—“There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.” In an effort to clothe ourselves against a season of what is sure to feel like “bad weather,” the Voice presents “No bad weather: Finding joy in a COVID winter.” With topics ranging from reading the tarot and digging up local history to baking bread and cold-weather sports, we hope you’ll find something to warm you up while you keep yourself and your loved ones safe this winter.
In our final installment of No Bad Weather, you’ll find some ideas for creating your very own Winter Closing Ceremonies. Instead of wishing away these final days of Winter, enjoy them to their fullest with delicious winter food and drink, shivery cold-weather fun, and cozy firelit evenings. You can look back through the earlier No Bad Weather graphics for more ideas.
“Else call it winter, which, being full of care,
makes summer’s welcome thrice more wished, more rare.”
— William Shakespeare, Sonnet 56
“In the depth of winter, I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.”
— Albert Camus
“May the road rise to meet you.
May the wind be always at your back.
May the sun shine warm upon your face,
the rain fall softly on your fields
And until we meet again,
may the gods hold you in the hollow of their hands.”
—An Irish Blessing
