Since the Winter obviously will not end, I made a film about it. This is basically my backyard. My first vid on Youtube.

Yep, that stream is circa 20 meters from my yard but most of all, I would like to see that
nature in green color. Dear Tapio, please stop this endless Winter.

It's kinda like in Sweden, some reason it's this year very much late. But when the summer comes, it is
most beautiful because nature and the animals have so much to do in so short of a time(of course you know this). I love Scandinavian summers
and especially the brightness... And Helsinki is a very nice city to visit in summer time....

Wow. Beautiful "back yard" you have there. And equally brilliant music to go with your video. ;)

Helsinki is and has been free of snow for a few weeks now. Today the sun is shining and we have almost 10 degrees Celsius in the capital (I sounded like weather forecast didn't I). But obviously the cold grip of winter is still upon most of northern Finland (and even a bit southern it seems) which is a bit unusual since were are closing on 1st of May. Spring should come and fast!

Ars superior est vita hominum.

"We pop out and come into the world and music is there. We didn't invent it - it's all organised in the atmosphere by divinity or whatever. It's a miracle." - John Williams-

I think music is a stream of some kind. It could be blood. It could be water. It could be ether. Whatever it is it seems to be a living, organic force that’s in motion, that serves humanity and is part of humanity and part of what describes us as humans. We sing, play, dance, all the things that we do. And there is a vibrant and great literature we have been given. ... As musicians, we join the stream. We swim in the stream with all the other millions of music makers. It’s a life force, a strong one, surrounding us and we are part of it. -John Williams-

Nice video, hornist, even though I hate winter and snow!

Here in Oslo, it's basically snow-free, but it's still cold and wet and grey and generally unpleasant. It's been that way for weeks now, after the record heat of March. I'm not sure how our climate compares to Finland, but I would guess it's somewhat milder (but not much) due to the longer coastline, the Gulf stream, the distance from Russia etc.

It's finally warming up here in Cedar City and about damn time too. I had all ready gotten sick of the cold. I'm ready for shorts and t-shirt weather now. It may get up to 90, or slightly above but with being so high up (close to 6,000 feet) it feels nice and not hot and sticky like in St. George or Vegas. Plus generally if there's a wind it'll cool it down a bit.

We've had like 10 °C yesterday and on Saturday and Sunday, temperatures over 25 °C are expected. :blink: No wonder so many people come down with colds and various respiratory problems after such sudden temperature changes.

You obviously haven't lived in Norway.

I actually like rain, especially if I have the chance to stay indoors. Autumn is my favourite season.

I agree with KM, freezing rain (or just raining EVERY DAY when its only barely above freezing) is way more annoying than snow. Way more uncomfortable anyway. Snow is cool.

Again, I challenge you to stay here in Oslo a winter. Let's see how much 'fun' you think it is then! :)

(snow in the city -- whether rock hard ice or wet slosh -- is one of the worst things ever).

Yup, winter makes one last advance here in Norway, although -- fortunately -- not here in downtown Oslo. It's cold, but sunny here today. But snow has appeared just outside the city limits as well as other places in the country, including alice's area.

Annoying, but that's Norway for ya!

Oh come on BloodBoal, chucks are the greatest shoes in the world, whether you like the fact or not, and Alice here is simply showing her great taste in wearing them! :D I also love chucks and have owned and worn many pairs of them in the last 15+ years. Blue is my favourite colour as far as chucks are concerned. :)

I got one my only good looking shoes dirty the other day with a bit of fried egg that fell on it. I dunno how to clean it. I would have never expected I would actually be annoyed about such a thing, so unlike myself :mellow:

But they're brown, not blue.

That's right, navy blue is the colour! :D

Back to the topic, we're having 25-30 °C until Saturday and then suddenly around 10 °C on Sunday, at least that's predicted. :blink:

And now it's supposed to drop to as low as 6 °C by next Tuesday! But on Friday, two days from now, it'll be around 30! Crazy weather! :shakehead:
