Pølse Lady: Finnish winter

Decided to post a few winter pictures from Finland. I love the real finnish winter when there's 2 meters of snow, from -15 up to -30 C of "pakkanen" (minus degrees) and no wind.

I have noticed while living in Denmark that all the danes truly hate snow and feel sorry for me when I go to Finland during winter, I really get offended by that. But I have now realized why they think like that. It's because their idea of snow and winter is pretty shitty. When it snows in Denmark, 90% of the time it's sleet (mix of snow and water) and it just violently pours down and makes everyone's lives miserable. Some winters Denmark doesn't get any snow (sleet), some winters they have it for a few days. Of course we get sleet in Finland too, especially in the spring all the roads are full of sleet and ice. But back to the winter! When it's snowing in Finland, the snow falls down slowly and gracefully. Really peaceful. Unless if it's time for snowstorm, but I'm not talking about that now.. Most of the time when it's snowing it's just amazing winter wonderland.

Another thing the danes feel sorry for me is the fact that it's so damn cold in Finland. Yeah, it is I agree, but it's fine! We are not pussies! We put on thick warm winter clothes! Then it's warm outside! Also no one really knows this, but Finland has extreme temperatures. In the winter it can be -30C, but in the summer it can climb up to +30C. Sometimes we have "helle" (heatwave) for many weeks which means it feels like being in Italy, Greece or similar and everyone goes swimming in one of our thousands of lakes :)

I feel like I wrote really aggressively... I'm sorry if I offended someone, I didn't mean it.

Well enough of the ranting, here are the winter pictures.
