Once in a while we see some snow in the down town areas. Dumping snow into the harbour isn't permitted any more (pollution danger) thus there are temporary snow stacks here and there, waiting to be moved into the out-of-city snow depots. If we are to get a new snow-rich winter those depots can have snow depths > 100m, meaning they need many many months to thaw. Once in a while the snow isn't entirely gone by October/November when new snow arrives, thus the foundation for a new local 'glacier' is present. The scenery starkly reminds of the Planet Winter in Ursula LeGuin's famous novel 'The Left Hand Side of Darkness'.
Now, this pitiful small heap just reminds me the winter has arrived.
