Nothing like Canada is experiencing. Currently, there is significant snow on the ground only in the very S-E corner of Eesti and no ice roads this year.

Small Estonia boasts huge anthills

A nest of hibernating LAANE/KUKKLASED (wood ants) in Glehni Park in the Tallinn suburb of Nõmme last Tuesday on VABARIIGI AASTAPÄEV – the 97th anniversary of Estonian independence. A KUKLANE (Latin Formica) is a type of large SIPELGAS (ant) native to Eurasia, which prefers coniferous forests such as the sandy NÕMM (pine heath) of Nõmme. Their nests are constructed mainly of MÄNNI/OKKAD – pine needles. During the warm months, the tops of such nests are a bustle of activity, but currently there is complete silence. Some snow here and there, icy patches and temperatures dipping just above and below zero.
