The view yesterday morning, November 30th:
The view in the afternoon:
The start to this winter couldn't be better! A snow storm, which got the name "Antti"!
As you can see, I had a headwind, all the way to home on my commute. Believe it or not, but I loved it, every minute of it!
Classic stuff. Snow drifts on the side of the roads, where fatbike stands without any support:
You get the feeling?
Enthusiasm all over my face:

The 45North Wölvhammer boots are excellent!
Flash:
Horizontal snow is the best!
As I got closer to home, things just got better:
Here's a short video that pretty much captures how great it truly was:
Why I love this? It's the feeling of adventure. The familiar surroundings are suddenly changed radically. It's the best show on Earth, the mother nature in full force. Now I just hope that the winter will continue snowy and cold all the way to the spring.

I was weak and hid inside yesterday working! :) Is that a thermometer fitted to your headset? If so very cool, and where can I get one!
Yes, it's a StemCAPtain: http://www.stemcaptain.com/products/thermometers/ . Only downside is that the scale ends at -25°C and at least my cap is sensible for vibrations and doesn't stay centered, especially when it's below zero.
Wow excellent photos and love the video. I just wonder if you are a little too adventurous? ;) Looking forward to more horizontal snow ...
I totally get this. Some of my funnest rides have been during the harshest conditions imaginable. Like this old post: http://www.mnbicyclecommuter.blogspot.com/2009/03/springtime-bicycle-commuting-on-surly.html
Thanks Nielsen! It's funny. Although I have ridden in bad conditions from the late 1990s, the feeling is different now. There is so much more there than just riding I guess.
Yeah, that looks awesome too. I have followed your blog a lot in recent years and it has had some influence on my commuting for sure.
