The storm had calmed down when I got home from work. I went out for a walk with the dog. The day had been sunny and bright after the clouds parted in the morning. Twigs were everywhere, scattered by the storm winds, and one tree along our path had broken and fallen down.
So our snow has melted. Yesterday the ground was horridly icy, melting through the day, and in the evening a strom set in. The wind blew hard all through the night, and so I woke up from a restless sleep to a still stormy morning.
Sunday was really windy here. Actually, as I learned when I got around to reading the news, it was classified as a storm, "Eino". Apparently Eino has caused a lot of havoc (in the Finnish scale, which is really nothing compared to the storms of the "big world", e.g. at the Philippines or the twisters the U.S.), cutting of electricity from a couple hundred thousand households due to fallen trees etc. It was the worst in Eastern Finland; I here only noticed the wind pulling my car and the flags in front of Ikea blowing sideways.
