First snowfall, Independence Day

Sure enough, the ineluctable winter has begun to set in, and we have our first snowfall here in Helsinki.

And it has fallen on the eve of Finnish Independence Day (which, I understand from my colleagues, is a day all about watching black and white television, listening to some Sibelius and watching dinner at the Presidential Palace).
