Week 24

SNOW

It’s funny, for a while it seemed that it snowed every day in Helsinki, the accumulation was amazing…6 metres (19 feet!) of it on one of those islands in the Baltic Sea between here and Tallinn and that was at Christmas. One can only imagine how much is there now.

But then it suddenly didn’t snow much at all anymore…about a, hmm, 2 week reprieve. But then it started again. Such an amazing amount in such a short period of time. It was pretty amazing wandering around in it. And Helsinki being Helsinki just dealt with it; life went on as usual, with maybe a few fewer people around.

    We are in our "Waterlude" phase right now. Oh yep, Winterlude is on so bring on the warmer temperatures to make a mess of the plan.
    Winter does look lovely in Helsinki.
