Taste of fresh fluffy snow

We had a walk (46 minutes, 353 kcal) with the wife and discussed at one point the taste of the fresh (and very fluffy) snow. (Note to kids at home: Don't eat snow.) The taste experience is quite interesting, having more to do with air that a heavy thing like water. Well, I guess it consists of 99 percent air.

Here are three images taken during the walk. We have indeed snow. The fluffy kind.

In Adelaide (Australia) it might snow - albeit slightly - once every 50 years. And it's in the surrounding hills (max height 710m) rather than the CBD or suburbs. The current weather is bouncing around between 23C and 38C.

We still play the European / North American Xmas songs about the cold and snowy weather.

The colours and snow in your pictures is striking and very different to what I see here!

Have a good Xmas Juha and best wishes for 2010.
