Looking for a word

[jducoeur]

A thought from yesterday:

On the one hand, it was a lovely, invigorating, mild day, which fills me with joy.

On the other hand, Boston isn't supposed to have days that nice in February, so it carries a shading of existential dread.

Surely, there must be a German word for this sensation, right?

I don't know the word, but I have had the same feeling.

OTOH, last week I saw an article that said the mild weather isn't climate change, it's a specific thingy going on with the jet stream.

Hmm. My understanding is that, yes, the jet stream is messed up -- but probably *because* of climate change...

I don't know the word either, but personally I've basically decided that it works for me to enjoy life on a day-to-day bases regardless of what the weather brings *and* be concerned about how humans have disrupted the climate cycles and what the future will bring.

I'm certainly willing to believe it is climate change, but here's the article I read:

German is one of those languages that let you create words to fit the situation. I'd probably go with Freudegruseln
