It’s been snowing here in Gothenburg pretty much non-stop since November, more than making up for the snowless winters of previous years. I woke up this morning to discover that my balcony was nearly filled up with snow, and this left me wondering if I should be worried about a possible collapse. All the trains coming in and out of Gothenburg have stopped. I’m not sure what it’s like in the city center but up here on Hisingen we’re getting pretty close to snowed in. Here are a few pictures taken earlier this afternoon:

A picnic table and a bench, almost buried:
A gazebo also nearly filled in with snow:
Here’s a short video I took of how fast the snow is coming down:
