A week after the official start of spring, Tallinn (and the rest of Estonia) awoke this morning to snowdrifts up to a metre high, with more snow having fallen in one night than fell during the whole of winter.This makes for rather a pretty sight when you're looking at it out of the window, but proves rather more challenging when you have to make your way through it. Apart from the obvious - broken down buses and people staring helplessly at the car-shaped piles of snow they're meant to be driving - the blizzard has seen a sharp rise in the number of perplexed tourists from southern Europe saying things like "what happened to spring?".

It's still only March though. We've had snow here in late May before (1999).
Oh, I no. Just odd that there has hardly been any snow up to now by comparison and then all that gets dumped on us in one go.
