It’s amazing how the places I saw when arriving to Sweden for the first time (mid-August) changed so much after the first snowfall. Despite what I thought previously, snowfalls aren’t always the same. I have my own snow classification:
- Snow storm (not good for biking, hurts your eyes);
- Winter wonderland (slowly falling snow, like dust floating through the air);
- Foggy snow (very little snow flakes that get your clothes all white);
- Snowmen snow (good for making snowmen. The temperature has to be near zero from what I understood so far, otherwise it’s like dust and doesn’t allow for making of snowballs);
- Annoying snow (when you want to get somewhere fast and its snowing like hell).
Other types of weather one can encounter in Uppsala:
- Icy – falling easily guaranteed, on bike or on foot;
- Cold like hell – below 20ºC (negative of course XD) becomes quite of a problem.
Several places I’ve passed by before are hardly recognizable now. I’ve made a photo comparison to show you. Is it the same place or a different place?
