Hopefully the weather won't be as rainy as yesterday morning. The rest of the day it may rain as much as it wants, just let the sun shine tomorrow.

 

It's getting colder again and it's raining. Lovely weather when you have little cold.

 

It's getting colder step by step. It's even supposed to snow this night!

 

That's cool!

It's said that it should become warmer here again... It could still be cold enough for snow though...

 

After a dreadful month we finally have winter! It's around 20 cm of snow and today it's perfect clear winter day and the temperature has dropped to around -15c.

 

-15°C? Wow, that's cold! Do you expect it to get even colder than that?

 

Nah, it's staying around that. It's not too unusual though, if we drop under -25, then we can start talk about it being very cold.

 

On Sunday it was -14°C... I was outside for four hours... and I was happy when I was back home. For me that is really cold! The coldest I ever witnessed was -20°C. I can't even imagine how it feels like when it's colder and you really start talking about the weather being cold only if it's below -25°C? I think wouldn't even be able to speak at that temperature anymore.

 

Well you have to dress properly, and then it depends on other conditions as well. If it gets that cold around here it's usually also very dry, and I much prefer cold and dry weather rather than milder but moister.

I do no like having to go on bike in a snowfall that has dumped 15 centimeters of snow, and when the roads or pavements haven't been cleared up.

 

Yeah, I can understand that. Driving on snow isn't much fun - ok with a car maybe a bit, if you have enough space around you.

The weather was warmer around Christmas (a tiny bit over 0°C), but now it's getting colder again. This coming week it should be about -3°C (highest) at daytime and I have to be outside for about 7 hours with only little breaks. Not sure how I shall stand that. I just I won't get ill, since I have some tests/exams in two weeks and I want to do them properly!

 

Even I admit it's too cold though when they warn on TV that the temperature might drop to -40 locally. We're in for a bit of a cold spell the coming days. I don't think it will hit -40 around here though, I've never experienced anything colder than -35.

 

5 inches? Sounds a lot... Not sure how many inches or centimeter we got within the last weeks, since it melted away in between. But right now it's snowing again and there's a very small layer of snow on the streets.
