First day of spring training

was today. The players in Mike's team reported and drilled. I heard they all survived. How many of them will show up for the next indoor practice - the time will show. I called it spring training because the spring is almost here. I think last weekend was the first when I thought I felt another season was on its way. There are still mountains of snow outside the city (probably 2-3 feet in my Grandma's yard - a place I checked out last weekend, and even more in some spots in towns) but in downtown Tallinn it is now possible to get from one building to another without having to don ice skates. If you pick your routes very carefully and don't go far.

So it was a surprise to be greeted by this thick, white curtain of snow outside the windows this morning. Nevertheless, Mike judged he didn't need an overcoat to venture out when the snow stopped. He won the battle!
Ask me for larger images if you want to see better how close together the snowflakes were.
