Illustrative image: A tram stuck in the snow on Unioninkatu during the COVID-19 pandemic. The storm Toini brought much more snow into a winter that was snowy to begin with. The tram driver has to get out in the early morning and shovel the tramway switch out from underneath the snow in front of the stopped tram near the tram stop at the Helsinki Market Square.
