Photographer Tommy Andersson captured these scenes in northern Sweden as a spring snowstorm with winds gusting over 60 mph blew in from the arctic. <br /><br />Even though Tommy was using a 10 kg tripod the wind gusts made it impossible to steady the camera as the howling winds and drifting snow blew all around on April 13 in the forest of Övre Oldsjön.<br /><br />Tommy said: "The road is up to a big dam, located just under the tree line so it´s somewhere like 700m above sea level. The total amount of snow that area had this winter is 1.5-2m.<br /><br />"I had to help one car on the way up who got stuck and got stuck myself twice while helping him. I always carry extra shovels, extra warm clothes, first aid kits, food and things like that in the car. You don´t meet so many people in these areas, so you have to be prepared!"
