4 days apart

What a difference 4 days make. Compare this image to almost the same view blipped on the 28th October.  The geese have flown, ice has arrived, it has been very windy, and snow has poured down through the night.
Both the meteorological office and the local council have been warning of this storm for the last three days. Fortunately around here it wasn't as bad as it could have been, but it has been fairly spectacular and there's around 15 cm of snow on our drive.

We went for a walk today (extra) and the wind chill was fierce. It was a bit óf a struggle but I felt it was the right sort of struggle and continued down to the lake. So much soft whiteness!
While we walked a snow plow roared past, and within the next hour it went by another couple of times. 
We decided to ignore the weather and head into town for our usual Wednesday night at Film Studio.
The film tonight was "Aftersun", a very strange and unusual film. Virtually the whole film is a flashback to the 1990's, 20 years previously. The main character was then 11 years-old and on a package holiday in Turkey, with her father. I suggest you read the reviews in The Guardian and The Observer (both 5 stars), or Jan's blip, to find out more. As usual with films this good I'd happily watch it again.
Before the film we tried out the new restaurant in town - Curry Masala. When we first lived here our nearest Indian restaurant was in Stockholm, for the last 10 years we've only needed to drive 45 minutes to Sundsvall, and now Indian cuisine has finally reached Härnösand!!  It was very good too, with delicious food, helpful friendly staff, and a very pleasant atmosphere. I do hope it thrives!
I spent a lot of time outside today, first walking and then clearing snow. The forecast suggests it's going to get warmer and copious amounts of rain are going to fall, so I guess the snow will be shortlived.
