The first few days here I remember were particularly grey and cold, meeting my typical expectations of the Arctic. The weather however improved, temperatures reading around 12 degrees celsius with bright sunshine and blue skies for a couple of weeks!
As someone who gets very excited over snow back home in Wales or in Scotland (uni home) I was very encouraged to see vehicles such as the one below. Not incuded in these images however are the many many snowmobiles that are scattered all around the town and in Nybyen (location of the student accommodation, old mine workers barracks). Apparently there are many more snowmobiles here than there are residents!
