Värriössä ensilumi - First snow in Varrio

The first snow in the autumn 2005 came in the night between 12.-13. September. The snow melted during the day, but in the morning of 14th September the ground was white again. The season for first snow is normal; for instance in 2004 the first snow came in the night between 15.-16. September. The relatively high altitude of Varrio partly explains why the first snow can be seen there earlier than other (lower) parts of eastern Lapland.
