I don’t know the hour of the lowest temp, but it must’ve been at night. It was measured 130 km south of where I live, so it’s very close to the center of the country. The highest temperature was measured in the south, near Helsinki. But the next highest temperatures were measured in the north. ---

A year ago it was quite warm in Finland. Today the first snow of winter is officially here\*. \* “Here” is 300 km south from my here. ---

In my area only -15°C. The world is boiling, but Fennoscandia seem to be cooling. Which was to be expected. ---

Yesterday was the annual “The greyest day of the year”, which is colloquially “Lonkeropäivä” or “ **The Day of The Tentacle** ” in English 😄 Why the tentacle? Well. In 1952 Summer Olympics in Helsinki there was a need for a refreshing alcoholic beverage which would be really quick for bartenders to make. They created the Gin Long Drink, which became really popular, and is very popular still today. People called “Long Drink” a “Lonkero” as it was easier to pronounce for a Finn. And “lonkero” translated is the “tentacle”. Why is “lonkero” associated with the greyest day? Easy. This is what the drink looks like: ![](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/51/Lonkero_%2815246979106%29.jpg) I realized today why this date (or yesterday) is called the greyest of the year, as the sky was grey, the snow was grey, the roads were grey, the river was grey… ---

In the morning it was -27°C. I stayed at home. In the evening -11°C. That’s a 16° difference. Last week we got some snow. Some say it was the biggest load in 22 years. ---

Over here it’s similar, but the tree snow’s melting under the sun (although the temp is -5° feels like -10°). ---

Constant change between snow and rain here. It snows then it gets warmer and the rain melts the snow then it gets colder again… And so on…and so on…and so on… [![](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/BarrenInsidiousAssassinbug-small.gif) ](https://thumbs.gfycat.com/BarrenInsidiousAssassinbug-small.gif) [Previous page](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/how-is-the-weather-right-now/2515.md?page=41) [Next page](https://forums.thimbleweedpark.com/t/how-is-the-weather-right-now/2515.md?page=43)
