What they don't mention is the length of those seasons, which in Finland consist of winter, winter, winter and construction. Even in Helsinki snow can fall as early as September and as late as May.
- volument 6y agoIt used to be like that, but that's no longer happening. Last winter, there was no snow in Helsinki at all :(
- stevekemp 6y agoAlthough there was snow and ice as late as May, just around the time I'd planted my carrot-seeds, potatoes, etc. Summer is short enough that there's basically only one growing season for food so that last minute cold-snap really ruined my planting plan!
- repiret 6y agoThat happens in Eastern Oregon too; and in most of the Great Basin.
- zeckalpha 6y agoHere in Minnesota, I’ve seen snow every month except August. We had 10 inches two weeks ago. On the other hand, it was 87 degrees on my porch yesterday.

- kaitai 6y agoYeah, howlgarnish's comment had me chuckling too... shoveled a lot a couple weeks ago...
- Jommi 6y agoWhat are you even talking about this is completely false. It doesn't even snow anymore really.
- howlgarnish 6y agoSnowfall != permanent snow cover. Helsinki still gets snow, it just doesn't stick around as long as it used to. https://www.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/lumitilastot https://www.ilmatieteenlaitos.fi/lumitilastot
