Snow - Pictures from my apartment

Some early cold weather has arrived in Estonia, and has brought some snow along with it. I took some photos from my apartment today around lunch time. The top two pictures are from the bedroom window. The roads get fairly slippery despite the salt they use, and the footpaths turn to ice if there are a lot of people walking on them. The bottom ones are taken from the kitchen window, where the view is of a kindergarten playground. I didn't see the kids out there today, which I guess is no surprise! As you can see from the thermometer it is below zero, but that is actually a bit warmer than it has been over the last week. It has been as cold a -7 or 8 during the day, and much colder at night. Anyway, now I'm about to brave the icy streets to go to my Estonian language class.
