First snow!

Webcam picture from Ruoholahti, Helsinki

The view isn´t exactly pretty and it´s not exactly the first snow either. But for the first time this autumn it´s constantly snowing today in Helsinki and the whole town is covered by that white stuff. It won´t stay long, that´s for sure because it´s still not cold enough yet. Soon the ground might be as grey as the sky after the snow has melted into a dirty mess. This is the time many people like the least and everybody is happy when it´s getting real cold with lots of snow. The reason is quite simple:
Snow is white, white is bright and bright means light, something that we have less and less on a daily basis now.

Somebody must be fooling around with the dimmer...
