SNOW MELTING HERE UP NORTH

Now there is a vast low pressure area prevailing above whole Finland. It gives causes for higher temperatures above zero degrees and thus melting snow. The weather has been really terrible with lot of raining. The snowman on our yard had started bowing to his right and this morning he already had lost his head. It had fallen on the ground.

The parks and forests look out much other than a couple of days ago. With the melting snow the ground emerges again green. My wife hopes that "warm" weather will continue further. She could thus start her berry picking again after some days. There are still much cranberries and lingonberries to be picked. The former ones are to be found on the marsh lands.
