First snow

Last night fell the first snow of this winter here in South Finland. In the morning the roads were a bit slippery, but by noon the main roads were almost dry. However, I changed winter tires to my car, for safety.

There is only 1-2 cm of snow on the ground yet, so it is not possible to ski, but as soon as there is enough snow I shall take my skis and start cross-country skiing. Later in the winter I´ll travel to North of Finland, to Lapland, to do some down-hill skiing.

I like winter and snow, but I don´t like the darkness of the Finnish winter. That´s why I´m planning to fly to Thailand in December or January for one or two months. Some of my friends have been there many times, about 100 kms south of Bangkok, in Hua Hin or Cha Am. I have been there once for many years ago, and I liked it there. Even the King of Thailand has a summer cottage there on the beech of Hua Hin. And if I go there I´m gonna play some golf, too.
