You’ll know it is summer because it will go from 10 minutes of sun to 10 hours of sun.
Ha. Haha. HahaHAHAHAHA.
no.
Yes, winter usually takes 1-2 days.Â
It hasn’t really started yet in the south. January and february are the coldest months
I’ve been here over 20 years. To put things into perspective, it’s uncommon, but also this is by far not the first time southern Finland has seen a black Christmas.
That said, climate change has definitely made a noticeable impact, so it’s possible this will continue into mid-January. It’s definitely starting to feel unusual. Our cottage is in etelä-Pohjanmaa and had a thick layer of snow last week, but now it’s all melted again.
Years ago I went paddling in Turku on epiphany so Jan 6. Paddled in the sea and up the Aura river to the cathedral and back, very nice.
Two months later the river and the sea were covered by thick ice from Turku to Utö.
No. it is just edging.
Winter lasts long into April, but permanent snow comes late December/early January.
It’ll come again in February. Then in March. And once again in May.
Time to get the motorcycles out of the garage!
This has been the most depressing winter I’ve experienced so far, at least in southern Finland.
Herwood!
Winter was never here. And daylight starts to increase in a few days.
Never say that unless it’s June! It could be 15th May and we get hit by the heaviest snowstorm for 2 days straight!
We had one winter, yes. But what about the second one?
This looks like prime BBQ weather.
It aint started yet!!
I think the calendar should be turned back a bit, i don’t want autumn on christmas and 25+ degrees in october
officially winter did not even start bro
Yeah, now we wait for the second winter.
Unpopular opinion but let’s stick to this version of winter.
Winter won’t start until January and probably late in the month. Everything have gotten pushed forward a couple of months so we that grew up with snow in November now have to wait until after the holidays if we want snow.
Sad but true, at least here in the middle of Sweden.
Oh, sweet summer child
Well it is a rough start. South won’t get cold until January and February, that’s normal. But even Lapland is experiencing extremely unusual mild coniditions, -10 to -1 and peaks of 3 isn’t really normal.
i wish
Did it even start yet
In the past 20 years or so, in the south of Finland, there have been winters where there was no snow at the start of the winter followed by massive amounts of snow in January and February.
Nothing unusual if this is coastal Finland. Long term average for start of permanent snow cover in Helsinki is around second week of January.
Didn’t start yet. Usually starts in january now and lasts till late march

#Herwood.
It never began.
Sure. Bust out your shorts and head on to the beach.
There’s still january and february. They are usually the snowiest and coldest months, at least in down south.
Quiz: is this picture from Christmas or Midsummer?

Finnish winter is a fickle mistress
