The photographs were taken in Nuuksio on February 13th.

The weather forecast promised 5 cm of new snow, but in the morning there was only 2 mm or less of new snow on the ground. Commuting by bicycle was fine. In the evening I did some repairs to the bicycle, installing new brake pads etc. I thought whether I should install the summer tires as well, but it is still possible that there will be some snow coming down, and cold nights that make the road icy.

The photographs were taken at lake Pitkäjärvi, lake Kattilajärvi and lake Vääräjärvi in Nuuksio on February 13th.

I have got this year 608 km riding the bicycle, of which 160 km in March. For the night the weather forecast promises 5 cm of new snow, so tomorrow the road conditions will be bad. But soon I expect to get back to the normal routine, which means commuting by bicycle on at least four days each week. That will mean that there will be less walking, and thus less photographs to process. Currently I have over 2,000 photographs waiting on the computer.

The photographs were taken on February 13th at Velskola.

We got 2 cm of new snow today. Half of it melted right away, but some still remains. I hope the slush won't get frozen, as that would make the conditions quite bad for commuting by bicycle.
