Counting down

[johan]

It's fascinating, really. Statistically, the Swedish population grows by roughly one person every fifteen minutes. Based on this fact, the Swedish National Bureau of Statistics has predicted that today is the day when the population will reach nine million. The counting down can be seen "live" here: Befolkningsklocka.

That was actually my impression of Colorado, that it has about the sam population density as Sweden, but I didn't know that the impression was correct. Interesting. I assume we have similar climates as well.

Not even close to the same climate I think. Denver gets less than 32 cm of rain in the average year. Most of Colorado is rather dry, except the mountains. Most of the water for the state falls there in the form of snow.

Yep, you're right. Colorado is a lot drier. Temperatures might be more similar, though.
