Evening of day two was at the Oulu Town hall. Evening started quite easy but then it developed into a great party.

Day 3 went very well progress was great. And the weather is perfect for carving. We have now -21 degrees celsius. But there was a scary update from the weather forecast service. There will be rain tonight and temperatures going up to 3 degrees. If that is the case some of the sculptures might be in trouble. Lets see…

And then on day 4 – The real nightmare for us begun. Temperature raised over night to plus 4 degrees. Rain was there in the night. As a result we had the first collapse of our sculpture around 15:30. A bigger part of our wall collapsed. However we could fix that quite well. After the first shock we did not gave up and started to fix the sculpture. Another 2 hours later, we just had a coffee at the Luma Bar, someone came and told us that our 3,5 meter statue collapsed. That was the time where we were very close to resign. But Olympic spirit won and so we build on what was left. After all we came up with a much smaller statue and less walls but the idea of the sculpture was still visible.

Back to normal temperatures here in Oulu. The morning started far below freezing point.

Good progress so far. Tomorrow we will concentrate on the walls.

A walk on the beach on a beautiful but very windy day. Carving starts at 12:00

We won Block 1 at the lottery. Hope that this is a good Omen.

Security first. Lothar took one of the famouse snow sculpting helmets made available by the Finish government.

The “Lady” is already spotting over the Block.

Final result day 1

We prepare for the opening. Thanks to Pia we still have the great Black Forest hats. Also Lothi could dry the pants in the Sauna, all good for now.

We met Tarja Prüss who runs a great blog on Finland during our stay in Oulu. She is an exceptional writer and wrote a very nice story about the Baltic Snow Call. Her Blog is also very popular and a nice place to spend ours on great stories about Finland (Tarjas Blog). Check out nordisch.info to read all about the Baltic Snow Call from a different perspective.

Thanks Tarja for being with us and for the outstanding article.

To cut a long story short, our team did not reach one of the first three places. Only place 1 to 3 were announced and unfortunately we were not successful. The final standing was:

1st Place: Russia

2nd Place: Finland

3rd Place: Estonia

So thank you all for following us on our great journey. Hope to have you back when we are going to the next contest soon.

Today at 13:00 GMT+2 the judges will publish their decision. I must say all the sculptures are well done and the field is very strong. Keep fingers crossed for Team Black Forest! Here the competitors:
