Moss : clothes on April 30th

True, it was sunny today. 16 degrees Celsius.
But it is not that warm, according to my standards.

Looking around I can classify the local Norwegians into three groups.

THE OPTIMISTIC NORWEGIAN
Today he or she was dressed in sandals, and wore bermuda shorts and a shortsleeved T-shirt.
Motto: This is finally summer weather, after the dark and cold winter.

THE "NORMAL" NORWEGIAN.
Today he or she wore shoes with socks, long pants, long sleeved top and a thin jacket.
Motto: This is nice weather, but I will be a little careful, not to catch a cold.

THE CAUTIOUS NORWEGIAN
Today he or she wore shoes with socks, long pants, a long sleeved top, often in fleece, and a thick jacket.
Motto: This looks like nice weather, but it doesn't feel too warm, so the winter isn't over yet.

You understand where I belong....
