Today we enjoyed sitting in our apartment, watching the heavy snowfall outside. It is late March and the weather is anything but springtime-like. It was a perfect setting for the world cup event in cross-country skiing from Falun (where the snowfall was rough!) and the afternoon highlight - the Swedish championship game in bandy between Hammarby and Bollnäs! For all non-Europeans, this means 90 minutes of outdoor play in coold weather, on an ice rink that is as big as a football field (and a ball that is about the size of a golf ball). The heavy snow on the ice made it almost impossible to skate, much less accomplish any passing game.
We loved to see the curse finally being broken - and for the first time ever Hammarby became Swedish bandy champions! Yeah!
Snow, snow and more snow... By the way... can you spot the ball?
