Slovenian snow records: the latest snowfall in the lowlands in Slovenia

The snow has stuck to the road, traffic accidents follow one after the other, many are left without electricity, branches are breaking due to the wet snow, chains are mandatory on the Jezersko pass, even the railway line is closed. In Carinthia, 25 centimeters of snow fell during the day. No, this is not a report from the middle of winter, this is an entry from April 27, 2016. Just a few days ago we were flying around in almost summer clothes and shoes, but yesterday we had to pull out the winter gear from the closets, which we were sure that she went on a well-deserved rest. True, the snow caught most of us on the left foot, but the shock experienced in 1974, when we recorded the latest snowfall in the lowlands in Slovenia, is still much smaller than 42 years later.

Snowflakes up close: the beauty of snowflakes through photography

Snowflakes are proof that nature is the greatest artist.

Well, detailed photos of snowflakes that are as unique as fingerprints is definitely not one of them.

The ski slopes in the Alps show a green image! Who Stole Winter?

Those who have already visited the ski resorts in the Alps this year wonder who stole the winter. After 2000, almost all Christmases in Slovenia were green, and 2015 (unfortunately) was no different. A white Christmas has clearly become more than just a thing of the imagination of the past, rather than a reality. But, as said, it is even worse. Alpine ski resorts are also showing a poor image, and some popular destinations are already starting to suffer chronically from a lack of snow. Photos from the field show the price they are paying for the unusually warm weather this year.

Snolo Scion - adult sled from Kickstarter

The Snolo Scion is a sled for adults. Leave the snowboards and classic sleds to the kids. It is quite enough for them to go down the hill. Snolo Scion turns sledding into a wild ride, where adrenaline spurts to all ends, just like snow under a sled. How could you not, when they were inspired by motorcycles and Formula 1. They are currently on Kicstarter, so if they are successful, you will be able to try them next winter.

The most beautiful photos of winter - a winter fairy tale or winter in its most beautiful form

Winter has many faces. The morning winter fairy tale quickly turns into chaos in the cities. The roads suffer a traffic attack, they have to be plowed, debris appears, ice, there is salt...

Snow shoveling as a recreation

Snow plowing is probably the most unpopular recreation, mainly because it is involuntary, since, unlike e.g. fitness, on days like today, we cannot skip it. But why pay entrance fees and classes, when you can use tearing for the ultimate training that will strengthen your biceps, triceps, abdominal and leg muscles. Suddenly tearing doesn't sound so bad anymore. Check out how to do it for a good workout.
