Meltdown

"Now here it's gettin hot hot hot...
It's getting hot out and hotter.
Man it's getting hot hot.
getting hot around here.
It's a meltdown.
it's a meltdown."
- AC/DC


When we arrived back to Finland 2 weeks ago, so did the beautiful winter weather with tons of 'light' snow. Ever since there has been at least a 6 inch ground cover of snow so light, almost sand-like, that you could not even pack it to make a snowball. The temperature has been steady, well below freezing...until yesterday.


Our winter wonderland has now turned into a slushy mess. The dormant grass is now visible beneath a sheet of glass that freezes each night. The piles of snow are now turning into mini-lakes and forming small streams down each street and sidewalk as they melt. These warm temperatures are only predicted for one more day until they plummet down to -19 C (-1 F). Then our slushy mess will turn into one HUGE iceberg. This is going to be fun!
