mcleodone: -5 C? In Finnland? I never would have imagend to think about holiday in finnland at this time
timppu: Now it is 0 degrees, it was heavily snowing earlier today. I think last week +5 C (and no snow at all anywhere), yesterday -22 C... it is all over the place.
And naturally I am only talking about where I live in southern Finland. During the same winter day, it might just as well be -40 C in the NE corner of Finland, and +5 in the SW corner (Åland).
Was aware that there are quite some differences between north and south but never thought there are such big.
Here today 0 C and snow and as temperatures arised its heavy wet snow.
I would prefer -10C dry and sunshine
Åland is the island between sweden and finland? I was there once for a few days when doing a sweden finland trip quite nice and there is once a year a live music festival afaik.
PS: anybody in the northern europe doing beside icefishing also the
sport bavarian curling?
Quite famous here - always done outside and on frozen lake/river but the last years no chance im my area due to not long enough cold temperaures. Most here dont take it too serious its just an excuse for being outside and drinking something against the cold ;-)
