Tallinn: A Winter Wonderland
Tallinn is one of the very few cities in the world where you’ll actually hear the locals curse and complain that the winter hasn’t been cold enough. Visiting foreigners, darting from hotel to café to avoid the chilled winds, understandably think the Tallinners are all quite mad. This year the locals got their wish. The mercury has registered steadily below -7c since a week before Christmas and there’s more snow than you can shake a stick at - not that there would be much point in that. With luck, the weather pattern will hold, and Old Town will retain its beautiful, snow-covered, picture-postcard look well into February and March.
