Scandinavians have an emotional connection to snow and the fact that it keeps on returning year after year to blanket everything in white fluffy white.
The world transforms and for a while one sees it all differently. Tree silhouettes dark against white, homes with caps and coats, and it is all soft and may be wet too and cold but soft. The edges are softened.
It is that which we connect with, the soft and the light. During the darkest months of the year the snow falls and the world becomes a lighter place.
I get excited whenever it snows and my mood lightens and I feel a child stirring within.
