The current winter in Finland is the continuously coldest, snowiest I have ever experienced after 9 years here. With temperatures averaging -10 (but reaching -27, without the windchill) and an amount of snowfall that is reaching a metre, the place looks and feels decidedly wintry. I mean, there’s more snow here than in Lapland!
Cross-country skiing is possible in almost any sidewalk now, even after they clean them.
There's a car somewhere under that pile of snow
Icicles in a cave
Snowboarding slope in downtown
Ski tracks on the snow over a frozen bay.
