'Blame it on the weatherman'
Starting my studies in February meant my clothing was always the same for several months: a long-sleeved shirt, a sweater or thick winter coat, and of course long johns underneath it all. Layers on layers. Once spring was in the air, I thought I could remove the layers and wear something else, but Dutch weather does not make it easy. It changes drastically all the time.

Once, my friend and I were not wearing enough warm clothes when we went to Volendam on a cold and windy spring day. We had checked the forecast before we left. Then I learnt that we should check the forecast to choose our clothes, but we shouldn't really trust it. If the forecast was wrong, just sing 'Blame it on the weatherman'.
