I went for a walk about an hour ago, and it started snowing more heavily while I was out. It's increased again since then. But it's still well above freezing, so the snow is filling the air like a snow globe, but melting when it comes to earth. It would seem to have the potential to be quite a serious snowstorm--if it weren't so warm and if the ground weren't already wet.

But OPM decided four hours ago that the federal government would be closed to-day, so who am I to argue? :-) I'll have a day of painting little metal men and watching Annika Bengtzon: Crime Reporter (did you like the way I pronounced her name all Svensk-like? I like Swedish. Stockholm looks quite nice, and the countryside even nicer. I wonder if *mousemouseclickckicktypetypetypetypeclickclick* no, Sweden is just as tough to move to as everywhere else i want to go...)

...but I usually figured they were after the communion silver!

A unique Polish Christmas carol from 17th century, which was stolen by Swedish troops during their invasion of Poland in 1655, had a premiere at a concert in Stockholm.

The lyrics were discovered in the Skokloster Castle, near the Swedish capital, where they lay forgotten for almost 350 years. Written in old Polish language, the carol had to be modernized to be understood by contemporary Poles. Music was also composed to suit the old octosyllabic verse.
