Lumi!

Yup, you read the title correctly—snow!  This past weekend, I was biking around the corner of a building when I came across a large pile of snow.  I am not sure where it is from or why it is there, but my flatmate postulated that it could be leftover from last year.  All the townsfolk having been warning me that Joensuu experienced one of its worst winters this past January.

Needless to say, I am looking forward to winter.  Bring out the woolies and long underwear...and perhaps some of New Zealand's polypropylene too!

FYI, the temperatures are currently hovering in the high forties to low fifties.  I have had to break out the mittens a few times already.
