Overmorrow

In two hours, the temperatures dropped nearly 20˚F. Winds whipping up something fierce, dark clouds scudding, as they so often do.

Winter is a'comin' in.

New word from Danish I will be adopting. Overmorrow. For the day after tomorrow. Why haven't we stolen this for our acquisitive language earlier? Overmorrow, the tree guys are coming by to remove the elm and tree of heaven from the corner of the house.

Overmorrow reminds me of my Japanese coworker who uses the 'next-next-Tuesday' construction, meaning 2 Tuesdays from now.

I thought you were going to say hygge, Danish for winter cosiness. [http://www.npr.org/sections/pictureshow/2012/01/30/146080892/winter-doldrums-got-you-down-have-some-hygge]

There's nothing like a front coming in...

We get big swings like that too, sometimes. Often in January it will go from -15C one day to +5C the next day.
