Upside down winter

Finally SNOW came to Sweden!
Woke up this morning and everything was as when I was a kid - completely white, everywhere! I love it. Winter is the most boring time of year without snow, but the best when snow is deep and new. Color, light, feel, smell...everything changes from one day to another. Peoples state of mind also changes. Happy faces, playing children.

So, everything is normal, right? Not really - this bloggpost should have been written in early November 2006, not in late January 2007... Today is actually the FIRST DAY we have with real, swedish, winter climate during this season. It is up the walls, as we would say in Swedish. Wierd.

It has also fuelled the political debate on climate change in Sweden. Papers are full of articles. TV as well.

They call it "upside down winter"...
