As an April Fool it started to snow on Sunday and it really hasn’t stopped after that.

Two Women and Beautiful…

…weather.

There is Plenty of Snow By the Streets…

…as the city doesn’t have the resources to clear and transport snow quickly after the unusually big snowfalls.

It hasn’t bothered me. This is much nicer than the winters when there was hardly any snow.

Snowing…

…on Mäkelänkatu street.

There is Something Interesting At…

…the window.

The First Snow of this “Winter”

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?
