Saw this on Mastodon and had a laugh. Not sure if it’s real, but it’s funny.

    I’m a degree (or less) south of Helsinki, 10 hours of sun sounds like a ton this time of the year. We’ll be down to 6 or 6.5 by mid December and Finland will have even less

      Yeah that’s even tougher, we get down to just under 9 hours average in December, but we don’t have the warm water from the Gulf Stream, so it’s similarly cold here.

      We’ve had snow an hours drive north already. And a ski area a bit more north is forecasting 10-12” (20-30cm) of snow this week.

        Wish we had snow here yet. Snow is nice. Cold is nice. It’s the dreary just above freezing wet and soggy mess of November I hate most.

        I even got nice new Nokian winter tires (studded of course) for my car this year and they’re already installed, so I’m basically fully prepped for snow and ice season.
