Snowcalypse!

The blizzard brought more snow during the night, so back to ploughing in the morning. This was the office view at 8:20 am. It's the road between our house and the main road. It wasn't like this all the way nor everywhere else, but there were some places that were worse. One road blocked by a quite big spruce fallen, another had many smaller trees, one of those in the extra. By then I had already taken the chain saw along.

There were a couple of shorter power failures at night, but the real thing began at 7:52 am and ended at 5:10 pm. Not long enough to melt the freezer, and even though I had to shut off the water at about halfway, the heifers weren't even thirsty when I carried some water to them with a bucket later.

Triinu came home from Estonia in the evening. Her train was 1.5 hours late because of the weather, even though it had cleared long before that. Actually no clouds at all after 4 pm!

The measured wind and wave height were record-breaking (in Finland) and many areas got more snow than us. Even though it wasn't the worst here, I can't recall seeing as many fallen trees in many years in the area where I plough snow. Odd that in Ylöjärvi over 5000 households (about 35% (*)) had power failure during the worst hours.

* EDIT: I must admit that the numbers are probably wrong. A significant part of the 5000 customers without electricity must be summer cottages, so not that many permanent residencies had a power failure. A large number anyway, practically almost the whole municipality north of us. The most unlucky ones had no electric power in 45 hours!
