Cold in Finland

[Classic Finn]

Very Cold here in Finland. Scraped the frost off the windshield already for the 3rd time. Along with it we have very dangerous black ice on the highways and ramps.

Studded tires must be on November 1st. However we are going to change them within the next day or 2. Weve received snow already in Northern Finland.

Time to dig out the thick sweaters, long johns and wool socks.

Most likely have permanent snow here by the end of this month.

Darkness is setting in upon which we,ll have for the next 6 months. Aint that a treat.

Only a few hours of daylight each day.

hey Cap'n, are studded tires required there? They're optional where I live and I use them, but illegal in a few states.

we still have a while before any noticeable snow falls here, and at least we get to see it in the daylight

It's freezing here to, 70 deg.

Finn...I'll see your darkness, and raise you 200 inches of snow!!!!

You can only use studded snow tires when there is ice on the roads here. They tear up the pavement. Really too much trouble for the few weeks we get ice or snow that stays around.

You batten down and come to talk to us more..........

Ya so, hu stor det til, min vennar? Nice to have you back on the board. Now, if you want, I will send you some of our 105 degree weather, so it will help you melt the snow.
Ha det so bra, Roly

We had 16 degree temp on Monday. Not too cold yet, but I won't have to wait too long for minus degrees. Oh well, life goes on.

After setting record highs in September (30c+) we too are seeing a bit of snow and cold already

I guess it's coming early so hopefully spring will be early too.

D.J. it looks like you got it bad compared to us.

At least we get more than a few hours of daylight.

Heikki...I can sure empathize, but so far winter is holding off in Juneau...this was Danny the Wicked Spaniel back by the glaicer behind the house this morning. Beautiful day and week!!!
