Wow, it's crazy here in Michigan. A week ago, we had this nice 60 degrees Fahrenheit sunny day, and then a couple days later, it was snowing! Yesterday it was down to about 25 degrees F. I was at a marching band practice that day, and it SUCKED. It was snowing so hard and the wind was blowing it all into our faces. The only reason the practice was canceled was because they didn't want us slipping on the snowy turf (we were on a football field) and *breaking a bone this close to BOA nationals. Last year in winter, it was about 35 to 40 degrees F throughout the entire season, except the snow took forever to melt and everything was all soggy. Almost all of October was wet and rainy, and the leaves turned colors and then fell within the period of about 3 days. During summer this year, it wasn't too hot, but it was really sunny. One day, I got a terrible sunburn around my sock, so I pulled the socks up so it wouldn't hurt as much, except by the end of the week, I had this REALLY red sunburn line. Except right below it was really pale white (where my skin wasn't exposed to the sun at all), and right above it was just regular skin. Really weird. And ugly.

 It's really insanely crazy here. What about where you guys are?




*Promptly after practice, almost every single person ran out onto the field and ran and slid around wildly. (retards)

it doesn't snow here

Snowed here a few days ago, still frosty outside, just waiting for the polars to come and start roaming the streets.

Current conditions:

 -7 degrees Celcius (19 degrees Fahrenheit)

Snow conditions depending af where you are; here in Helsinki there's practically no snow at all, only few light patches where no one has walked (like rooftops), but when you go north from the southern coast you start getting more snow... actually, there are currently huge amounts of trucks delayed at the border stations to and from Russia due to bad weather conditions (mainly snow).

As a bonus we get almost constant breezing wind from the sea (current wind conditions 3.0 m/s from NE),


Before this medium cold air mass came here, we had a week of rain with gusty wind conditions in about 2-7 degrees celcius. And before that it was about a month of fair weather at about 10-15 degrees Celcius... long warm autumn in Finnish terms, that is.


Anyway, this should tell pretty much actually...
Lowest  and highest temperatures (respectively); date is on upper right corner... I think the pictures will update automatically as they are replaced with new data:



Temperatures in Celcius scale... For making comparisions easier, I'll post them also in Fahrenheit:

0 C = 32 F
-5 C = 23 F
-10 C = 14 F
-15 C = 5 F
-20 C = -4 F
-25 C = -13 F
-30 C = -22 F


Snow thickness and recent rain coverage (note how much rain we have had at south coast but hardly any in snow... )



 

I would personally rather take -15 degrees Celcius any time over common weather conditions here in Helsinki. Even though it doesn't technically get as cold here as it gets in North, at least they have actual snow, we only have sleet and crap-stained snow at best.

The seasons are changing, what do you expect?

I live in the middle part of Finland (not the thin part, but in the middle of the thick part) and there's lots of snow here. First snow we got this winter, stayed. Usually it's just couple of centimetres that disappear in a day. But damn, this time we got a damn blizzard that spew about 20 cm of snow. That's rare. Usually we have to wait until december to get that much snow.

I remember one day that I went to school with the scooter since there was a bright sun (it was December, so it was something like 0 C/32 F in the morning). In the middle of the morning, it began snowing. By the time I had to return home, there were 10 cm of snow. And I was a school with the scooter . It was painful... It took 1 hour to do 5 kilometers... I was going so slowly that once the front wheel couldn't climb a small hump, and when I tried to accelerate, the rear wheel almost went ahead of the front wheel...

But after all, here it snows very rarely. Here we have a lot of fog. Last week, I was going to school, and there was such a thick fog that I couldn't see a car parked in second-row. I avoided it only at the last second.
