The First Real Snow

It finally snowed this weekend.  After last year's unbelievable amount of snow, I though I would be happy not to see it this year but snow makes the dark Swedish winter countryside luminesant; it's needed here.  In Canada I could usually feel and smell the coming of snow - I wonder if others have that sense of their mother country climate?  I don't have those instincts here, yet.  I do, however, love snow.  This is what our little pocket of the Swedish countryside looks in the beautiful white snow.
