That White Fluffy Stuff

This morning, I woke up to the first snow fall!  Yup, October 12 and it is snowing in Joensuu.  While I might not be saying this in a few months, it was invigorating to feel the small flakes hit my cheeks as I rode Alpina (my bicycle) to school.  It snowed for most of the morning, tapering off in the afternoon.  By evening, all the white fluffy stuff had melted and only the cold temperatures serve as a reminder of today's snowfall.

These are some of the few red leaves in Joensuu. 
Yellow is a more popular autumn color around here.
