When Finland tries to kill you…

  1. What do you typically do in Finland for Ice.

    In parts of Canada we use salt, in other parts sand.

    But in this photo there isn’t any mitigation.

    Just curious.

  2. It was the same for me in my way to work this morning here in Sweden. I’m hoping it’s better by the time I’m heading home because dark and ice aren’t a good combination. I’m too old to not be injured if I fall!

  3. Forecast says it’s +5°C this whole day and below 0 the whole next week starting tomorrow. Fuck that

  4. Haha my car is parked on an incline in a spot that looks like this

    I cant get it out haha this is so fun, man I would hate to live in Spain or some other warm place…

  5. And this is why I’m so glad to wear ice studs when I go out in winter.

    They are a pain getting on and off in stores etc but you can walk almost like normal on this and thats infinitely preferable to broken bones

  6. This is called “mummontappokeli” which is roughly translated “grandma killing weather”

  7. The trick is not to walk legs straight and locked into position but instead like you would normally walk: let the knees bend and take secure steps but slower than usually.

  8. Be me, a finn.

    Decide to go for a walk

    Slip on the ice

    Wait at the hospital because I might have just broken my fucking ankle…

    Sitting on a hospital bed right now, waiting for the doctor. Wish me luck.
