Snow rocks...and so does winter.

They both rock even more when you have a 110 degree hottub outside :thumbs:

Fat Tony! · Oct 9, 2004

Agreed, I live on a sluttning (swedish) of one of the mountains, I have perfect view over the village, Lapp-porten and Abisko.
You saw the pics in the other thread?

Yeah, those should drag some tourists over there, I was in Abisko in the summer, so there was a lack of nordic light, but it doesn't matter, I've seen it before. :E

If you're here in the summer, Laponia is a must.
Wonder if nordic light is more frequent in the winter, it seems like it to me?

One thing I'm not looking forward to is when the pavement freezes over and it takes me 45 minutes to get up the hill to uni...

Its frigging freezing here in Manchester.

Its been about 14 degrees C hasn't it?

I wouldn't say freezing, I'd say it was refreshing. Cold enough to keep you alert at least...Then again, where i used to live we got quite a lot of snow. I also rather enjoy snowboarding, and so I guess I'm just that kind of person.

I would love for it to snow more this year...

No offense, but it's fun to see people just like you traveling up here, to see the snow. And when they come, with a standard jacket that they bought in their homecountry that the salesman said would be more the enough.

thanks for the warning

I heard that you need wear some special glases cuz the light refletecd in the snow can hurt your eyes
is true?

YES! Always wear googles with UV-protection. ALWAYS ALWAYS ALWAYS! Googles are more important during a blizzard to, cause snow in your eye hurts.

The snow will reflect all extra UV-radiation, and if you don't have protection for it you will get snow-blind. I've been snowblind, and it feels like someone poured salt in your eye, don't even try to see anything in light, cause it'll just be white.

moppe · Oct 10, 2004

Anyone in currently in Sweden that are willing to tell the weather? I can't reach my friends on sat.

Varg|Hund · Oct 10, 2004

No snow here yet (Östergötland), damn cold though.
This is the worst part of the autumn, the damn cold in the mornings. It's really hard to get out of bed

Lil' Timmy · Oct 10, 2004

10 weeks ago I was on the beach in greece, seems like yesterday, now it's cold again...

All you lucky people with snow. We've just come out of winter here in sydney.

Clear blue skies, slight breeze, 18-25C days.

Now we're headed for summer:

Clear blue skies, slight breeze, 35-40C days.

Not a hell of a lot of variation there, except for the temp.

Sounds boring.
Alot of variation in Lappland due to the sub-artic climate.
Summer: clear blue skies, slight breeze, 20-25 day and night. 24 hour sun.

Winter: alot of clouds, blizzards, wind depends, -20-55C day and night. 24 hour night.

hehe, your summer is our winter.

We get the occasional rain, and the occasional summer thunderstorm.

But (noticed especially after travelling overseas) the sun is shining almost all the time.

Well, so do we. But that is always over the mountains, it don't get down in the valley.

I always did want to go to Sweden. Maybe I will, since my brother is marrying a girl from there...she is from the south though, and I wanna see the mountains and the almost perpetual night time

Where South? Skåne, or further up?

And yeah, you've got to visit Norrland sometime Farrow. During hunting season perhaps?

Oh, first Skåne.
Sweden is such a small country, but the language is so diffrent from south to north.

Nu ska jag försöka skriva norrländska.

Fast, de ä rätt svårt å göa de.

Both Norrländska and Skånska is considered farmers language.
