Kevad Eestis (Spring in Estonia)!

We had one of the mildest winters in ages here, and so now that it is spring we had a storm that brought more snow than we had through the whole winter combined. This is the view from outside of our apartment building this morning

It snowed steadily for 36 hours and we easily had 18 inches (45 centimeters) of snow on the ground across from our house. It was actually fun to watch the storm because we hadn't seen anything like it this year. But driving was not fun!

The snow did make the yard of the restaurant across the street look like a beautiful country scene.

And the vacant lot that faces our house had all the mud and debris covered by a blanket of white.
