Today's 10km walk brought me to Orlången and Flemingsberg Nature Reserve. We met at Huddinge Station and took bus 709 towards Länna Handelsplats where we alighted at a station called Smedstorpsvägen.
It was truly a White Winter Wonderland and feels like a 'Frozen' moment. It was like real winter with snow all around me. There has not been a proper snowfall since my first encounter in November - I made a snowman then, and never got the chance to make another since then as the snow became too dry. It was -6 degrees today, and the snow was too dry and powdery to make a snowman. One can also see the patterns of the snowflakes! Yes, it was cold but with the proper clothings, one can enjoy nature walk during winter. I had a fleece jacket, down jacket and my soft-shell jacket. THREE layers of jackets!
By the way, it is really difficult to walk in snow! It takes a lot of effort to life your legs from the snow and trudge on again in the snow. Even worse when going up a slope.
Someone used snow to boil as drinking water. It was a distance away from the walking path to ensure clean snow.
My first walk on a frozen lake. It was covered with a layer of snow.
Chair got stuck in a frozen lake.
Can you see a layer of air above the ground? That is evaporated air from the snow due to the warmth from the sun.
I did my first snow angel, and also the only one for this winter. Haha!
