C´mon WHERE´s the winter....?

Its not here, at my home beach,i dont see any serious signs of fall ending and winter starting, and i have been waiting for more subzero nights and more morning frost....Theres still even flowers rising and in bright colours, the birch has tiny green buds...its all mixed up, the swans stay still here, at fields and bays, you dont need ice auger to to fish....Please give me a harsh winter. They are forecasting -3c for tonight but we´ll see about that.






And it sure doesnt look like a promising early winter even in lapland.... Well they have bit of ice in some smaller ponds and lakes able to carry a regular size guy to walk on for a while, and -3 temps but....last year, two weeks from this date, there was feet high snow, over -30c temps...so theres just that two weeks for the gods of weather to sort it out and give winter there too.





THIS is what i want to see for the next..lets say...5 months:

I still liked a little snow when I was your age, too. Now that I've got another 20 years on me, not so much.

Well, i donno what to say,sir :).

Maybe i´ll say that if thats the case how it might go with me too,theni sure would love to get those 20 real winters now in a row, when i am able to take the joy out of them.

Theres so much more to do outdoors, in my opinion, at winter, and even the campfire is warmer, then.

I think only someone from Finland is kooky enough to complain about a lack of winter. ;-)

I must be 1/2 Finnish by now, because I've been wondering the same thing. Earlier this week we had a few nights below 0, but this morning when I checked...+4*C....

It's so weird that the weather hasn't changed in, what, 5/6/7 weeks? I noticed some small ferns growing in the forest last weekend when I was cutting some firewood. I also saw buds on willows and birch. Weird.

I'm certainly looking forward to when the freeze comes, cuz I'm sick of the wet and mud.

Let's hope it comes soon.

Love the pictures and since I now dwell in North Carolina, we barely get snow which makes this huntress extremely sad. Hope you get some soon!

Browsing the paper here, even they're commenting on the lack of winter in your parts.
