Winter blew in over Göteborg in the last week of November. 30 centimeters of snow and sub-zero temperatures for another week at least. Will it stay until Christmas? Probably not. Beautiful while it lasts.

The icy wind bites the ears and finds the gaps under the winter jacket but even so, it’s great to be outside. The sun peeps over the horizon but doesn’t warm. Took a Saturday afternoon stroll along the Eriksberg boardwalk with Cooper and the girls and their dachshounds. Siri and Hagrid wear jackets to keep them warm and they tire quickly from leaping in the deep snow with their short legs. Cooper stops and sniffs every yellow spot to catch the latest dog news.
