it is cold outside

Cold weather can certainly make you feel chilly. When it snows and ice forms, it adds an extra layer of coldness to the surroundings, no doubt about that.. Stay cozy and enjoy the winter scenery!

We here in south of Finland don’t have snow yet, so these are from my archives.

Frosty morning

Morning Sun behind the frosty trees

We have had several cold days this week, but the weather should be warming up a bit. This cold certainly brings us nice and sunshiny days and the clear starry nights.

We have been seeing news about Texas and other areas that are not used to winter conditions and the problems they are having…so sad.

I took some pictures of the flowing water that keeps the ice hole open and the edges of the hole look lovely – artistic.
