Snow has officially fallen a few days ago but didn't stick around long enough and there wasn't enough to make snow angels or snow balls and definitely not enough for snow men or women.
The great thing about (JKL) Finland so far is that when it snows - it's usually not blinding white-outs where you can't see your hand in front of you, which CAN and quite OFTEN happens in Canada...which makes for treacherous driving conditions and causes a lot of deaths and harm.
It's usually flurries that can go on for days if not weeks and it adds up surprisingly! Of course later in the winter, there are times that you see bigger and chunkier looking snow flakes and there can be the odd "snow storm" but it all eventually melts...usually by the end of April/early May.

So now that there's black ice under the snow and the snow is light and slippery - you need to get your winter tires put on your car and perhaps on your bike too if you bike a lot in the winter!!
If you do not get winter tires and you are caught - they will give you a ticket.
