If you loved to participate in one of those shows, and qualified, why not? It could be a fun experience! :)
Maybe your husband has had enough of the snow, 6 months every year can be a bit much! I hope you'll return to your home town, if that's the place you feel more at home. :)
The shows are quite grueling. I was chatting (via Facebook) to the lady who won the Swedish one a few years ago. (We share first names, lol.) She was talking about just what it takes.
If I were fitter, I'd love to do it. I'd love to be the first person to be on all three shows! But I have many daily struggles at the moment and (honestly), my daughters would also struggle with me being away for such a long time.
When I lived in Wisconsin, similar amounts of winter, I always wanted more snow. The forecast would say 2-4 and I was hoping for 8... Despite the fact that I had to walk in it daily to work (well, the mile after the bus, anyway) often over an overpass that went unplowed most of the time... wind chills, you name it. I learned how to dress for it and cope with it. I loved the weather there!
Nah, my husband is too much of a worrywort sometimes, bless him. He thinks of all the bad things that can happen because of the snow and worries... Yes, there are bad things, but all kinds of weather comes with bad things. It's better to learn to appreciate what you have. But I will always have a hankering for snow - and the seasons in general - in their place.
Being part of those shows must be a struggle in its own way, and it's true that participating isn't for everyone, at least not in every life situation. But hey, maybe one day a even better opportunity will appear! Meanwhile, you get to enjoy the faces of other people eating surströmming etc. lol.
You really seem to love snow, I'll have to talk with you during cold winter days, I feel like you can cheer me up! Even now you made me think positively about winter, thanks for that!
