The First Snow of this “Winter”

firstsnow2009

Winter should still be a few months away but we already got the first snow today. Lately we have had some unusually warm and cold periods.

You foreigners might think that it always snows in Helsinki but last winter the first snow came at end of November and the ground wasn’t white until January. Year earlier there wasn’t really any snow. That was pretty depressing.

Can you spot a dog in this photo?

    Wow, snowing already. In my city it’s usually late December, sometimes late November but like you said, it never lasts, it’s usually in January that we have snow on the ground. Last year it didn’t snow at all and I would have liked a little snow. I can see the dog.

    I thought I was right and yet a local kept telling me it was only sleet.

    Greetings from Australia.

    Thanks for visiting my blog. And you’re right – your trams do look like ours – or at least what ours looked like before the powersthat be decided to paint them all the colours of the rainbow!
    We don’t have snow here, we do have plentyu of sun though. The doggie’s on the right hand side.:-)
    Cheers.
