The snow's here at last!

It was beginning to feel like the winter was never going to start 2 weeks ago with Turku shrouded in darkness, raining everyday and running at a steady lame +2-4c. Then last weekend it changed overnight to -12c and a weekend of snow! Yeah! At last it's bright white and sunny...and about -15c everyday. 

The council has almost finished building a Moomin themed playground in the park nearest our house which is awesome. They've upgraded everything in the park as well as adding a whole new playground, including the kids all time favourite: the BIG swing! We've been hanging there a lot...even in the dark as they've yet to install the lights for night use. 


The BIG swing!


E loving it


K bundled up for -14c


What is that strange glowing ball in the sky?


Glöggi at the playground for K...


..and E. 


Hanging in the steam exhaust for heated water pipes..


...which creates this great snow drenched effect on the surrounding trees.
