While talking to my overseas relatives, I briefly brought up the impression that (as we grew older) the weather in The Netherlands got milder too. Yes, I remember driving on the bike through -20 degrees temperatures. Or through snow. I sound like an old retard now: after all, every generation claims to have gone through the worst of the worst. If you put all these claims together, would the result match the graphs?
I was reading the comments back to back, and noticed that I missed out on a link in one of Alfons’ comments. ‘Yellow River’? Maybe he actually meant this band? That said, I do recognize the song but can not place it. Maybe it was part of my mom’s vinyl collection. I was too young then.
