Frost or Snow

Image
On my way to work there, I start seeing frost forming on people's cars again. In fact almost everything is covered in white! But it didn't snow.

This time I went to Birger Jarlsgatan - a street where all the upmarket labels are.               When I saw this, I thought it's snow. I asked a guy who happens to walk pass, he said those were just frost forming on top of the car. It's THAT cold. But no snow yet.       I also see a lot of people cycling around even in this kind of te...
