At least it's not as dark as it used to be.

Alright, it might seem like I have a thing against Finland these days and trust me, I don't. I still highly enjoy living here, it's just easier to rant than to praise.

I'm fucking tired of the snow. We were so close to not having any anymore and then it snowed a bit yesterday and overnight. It is fun? Nope. We're at the stage in the weather where it's warm during the day, warm enough to have some snow melt and then it's -10C or colder during the night so of course everything freezes. It's so much fun walking on that. Really fun.

So I went back in journal a bit to 2008:
- on the 20th of March we had clear skies, can't see snow on the ground.
- it snowed on the 23rd - a lot it seems
- on the 26th one had to wade through snow
- on the 30th I ran on soggy ground/half melted snow
- it was 9C on the 31st!
- on the 4th of April, the snow had mostly gone
- 7th of April - rain, not fun.
- it rained and snowed on the 9th

And this is where I end this review. They're predicting more snow for today and tomorrow and some for the end of the week and warmer temperatures for then too. Make it be the 9th of April already so that I can enjoy some good old southern sun!

This is quite the example of Finnish Spring I'd say. There's even an old phrase that says: 'New snow is old ones death'. So the spring will come, one day, as a surpise :)

Apparently it's possible to get snow on Vappu so it seems that spring likes to play hide and seek in Finland!

Yes, it does :) I remember one Wappu at Kaivopuisto park when we got some wet snow. And when I was 12 we got snow on June too...
