4th June – the snow in the front garden is gone
This is a photo from 28th April:
This a photo from yesterday, 3rd June:
Both photos show the same motive. The house where I have my apartment with its front garden. The bush in the front garden in about five metres high. In winter I could touch the top of the bush with my fingers, today the last remaining snow has melted away while I was working.
No, we didn’t have three metres of snow in Tromsø last winter. The maximum was “only” 120 cm. But my landlord and I use the front garden as a snow tip and so the amount of snow we put there accumulates in the wintertime. In spring it takes some extra weeks to melt.
And so it looks like if you step into the snow in front of the snow shovel and hop up and down several times …
Now I’m longing for summer but secretly I’m already looking forward to the next winter and the first snow ;-)
