Life signs in the snow

By now Stockholm has been covered in snow for 2 months - and nothing really seems to indicate that the winter will be over any time soon: all day today the thermometer has been showing -14 C (7 F) and the snow is drifting around us in what I believe is technically known as a "moderate breeze" (26 km/h = 16 mph) from the north-east causing it to feel more like -24 C (-11 F)..


But fortunately - on days with nicer weather - we can see some signs of life in all the snow.
