.::. Way too much .::.

It has been snowing since noon today. Heavy, non-stop snow. Not surprisingly, the buses are late, trains are delayed.



It's not obvious. Perhaps if you look carefully below the lamposts, there is a hint of the heavy snow. You can imagine the amount of snow on the floor after almost 10 hour of non-stop snow. It was so difficult to walk since nobody have been clearing the pathways - like walking in cold sand? I was so afraid that I would slip and fall.

Heaps of snow everywhere!

The tracks were totally covered by snow. The trains were ALL delayed and we were quite lucky. We only took twice the normal time to get home - about 1.5 hours. There were trains delayed for 2 hours or more!

Some evidence of heavy snow. It was pretty scary, with big snow flakes flying around in the wind. Totally not a good time to be out.

They say that we are 'lucky' to experience the worst best winter ever. It has been 23 years since there was this much snow in the southern part of Sweden.

When we just arrived, all of us were very concerned about whether it would snow during winter here. All of us were very disappointed to hear that it hardly snows and snow never stays on the ground. All the Swedish people told us that if we were lucky, there might be a few days of snow. That explains why my roommate and I ran out at midnight to take pictures when it first snowed in December, afraid that the snow might disappear the next morning.

I guess most of us are just sick of the snow now. I no longer have the urge to roll in the snow nor play with snow. It's February and it's still snowing so much these days!

I can't wait for Spring to come. I miss the sun and blue skies!
