Thread: snow on täällä

hei everybody its just begin snowing today in Helsinki I was going to my work at 11:45 pm and it begin snowing but just for 5 min ,
but any way here we are with another winter in Helsinki , I hope it will be better than the last year cause it was so sucks winter without that much snow in Helsinki .

snow is lumi in finnish. but if you want to say some snow then it's lunta

here we had few snowflakes in the last few days. and we are supposed to get few centimeters this week sometime. I love snow, but I hope we won't get over 4 meters like last winter XD

Iv had quite abit of snow so far here in the north, but it is much colder here then down in helsinki. And its about to get dark again in next 20mins....

:P yeah, Lapland must be really dark in winter (well maybe not, if there is a lot of snow). at what time does the sun rises and sets?

Right now here it rises about 9am and sets again at 3pm, however pretty much soon we will be going into our 50days or no sunlight.

And yep the snow is falling rather nicely now

it was snowing a bit in the last few days, and soon the depressionary system will be over the area, so lot of snow to come :P

50 days with no sunlight must be quite something, but with the snow, it absorb light so it should not be too dark either. and well remember that in summer there is about 70 days of sunlight :P

Ja meille on lunta tässä Turrussa! On tosi kaunis!...

kyl lumi on kaunis! Montrealissa ei oo lunta... mutta ensi viikkona..

Yeh it isnt really that so bad, the snow does help out alot in the dark as it is notacible against the darkness of trees, signs and animals. But most people i know also have rally lights on the front of their cars. And the nights are wonderful, specially with the northern lights.

Yep 70days of light, when i moved here for good it was while we had this and it was really hard for me to adjust to begin with.
