After days of thaw when the temperature drops under minus again, the new snow sticks to the branches like a beautiful, white decoration. The ground is dressed in a smooth and untouched covering of deep snow. The only thing that breaks the perfect surface is some fresh tracks. A little hare jumps past and leaves traces of its paws in the snow. Here nobody can sneak past without leaving tracks behind. You immediately sink to your knees in the soft snow if you try.<\/p>\n
