People hanging around bonfires with a little ski hill in the background. There are railings on the hill so that skiers and snowboarders can use them for tricks. The windchill is in the negative teens, so folks are bundled up

This weekend our town has a festival to celebrate Heikki Lunta, the god of snow.
We honor Heikki Lunta tonight with a Rail Jam: snowboard tricks with music.

Three deer in the middle of the road. There are big snowbanks on the sides of the road. Snow is falling hard

Following 3 deer down the street while driving home.

They can’t jump off the road because the snow piles are so tall, so we slowly trot along…

Update: for the second time this week, a snowplow got stuck outside our house.

In case you wander what it looks like when a snow plow pulls out a snow plow:

Me standing with a snow shovel in a sidewalk between walls of snow. The snow behind me is as tall as me

It’s difficult to display the magnitude of our snow, but I have to throw it higher than my head to clear the sidewalk. (I’m about 6’ tall.)
