Snow finally covered up the ugly round thing in the yard (cover for the propane tank).

Fresh snow. It's rare to be able to get a picture of it like this because the snow plow usually comes within a few hours.

Lilleaker tram stop, from which I usually go to work if I don't take the bus.

Good local sledding place, when the snow is deep enough; otherwise can be a bit too fast when it gets more packed down.

I asked a coworker about this tradition of decorating with sheaves of grain; he said it's mostly just to feed the birds.

The free skating rink downtown. Music is playing every evening and usually it's full of kids. I think they refrigerate the ice a bit too, because it was frozen solid before it was quite that cold. In the summer it's a fountain though.

Синицы in Russian
Parus in Latin
Tit in English, Meis in Norwegian. We have seen these all through the winter, and probably this pair is living in those bushes.

Ye olde Lilleaker Stasjon. There was an art exhibition inside one weekend. It's not in use as an actual train station anymore. Seems that they used to take cross-city trains a bit more seriously; now you just wait outside because the tram will be coming in 10 minutes or less most of the time, and you presumably bought your transportation pass ahead of time anyway.

Iryna gets groceries here sometimes. It's not much further to a nice big Meny though, at CC Vest.

I take this bus to work some days.

There was a snowboarding event with booths selling gear, a big TV to watch the competition at Wyller, and this booth giving away Pepsi Max.
