Snow???

The world has become upside down. At least here in southern Sweden. It's actually snowing! A lot!

After I wrote that last post, in between doing laundry, I went up to my mothers', leaving some food and stuff. At that time there were tiny chrystals of snow falling, which is not uncommon. When I got home it had almost stopped.

Just after 14.00 I drove the three oldest kids to my mother and then went home again to take a shower. Since RedHead had to do some last minute shopping I didn't get into the shower until around 15.00. While I waited for RedHead to get home I was just sitting by the computer, playing around. As she came back she mentioned that it was snowing real bad but since she usually exaggerates, I didn't pay much attention. I had just read the news about a blizzard hitting mid-Sweden but there was nothing about any snowstorm the most southern parts.

I must have been freezing because the shower was so lovely, I stayed in there for almost half an hour just enjoying the heat. As I later entered the kitchen and looked out the window I saw an jaw-dropping sight. In less than an hour, about an inch of snow had fallen! I had to get my camera, because this was a rare one.

This is what I saw through our kitchen window.

During the first four hours at my mother's house, we received four inches of snow! Four inches! The last time I saw that amount of snow was in the early 80's...
