COLD IS HERE
Here I am back to work after a wonderful Christmas holidays in Spain. Today I will talk about how hard is finnish winter for a spanish.
We got finally a proper winter after one year with quite warm temperatures ( That is what finnish said, for me it was enough cold). I just returned from Spain where the temperatures were about 10-15 degrees, is like 25-30 degrees more than in Finland, I can tell you that I am totally freezing cold, I guess I will get use to this temperatures after a while.
During this time of the year the lakes of all Finland are frozen, you can walk, do ice fishing or skate on it. I was very surprised how fast the weather changed, just couple of months ago it was water and now it is ice. It was nice experience walk on the lake, I haven´t done it before and I can tell you that is very impressive, the fact that under you there are fishes swimming is a bit scary but nice experienced anyway. I am not brave enough to go walking on the lake if I don´t see someone else around, just in case I am too heavy and the ice breaks, I don´t want to die yet, I am still young. I found funny the fact that when you go out for a while your hair turns white, but don´t worry, you are not getting older is just the cold.
What I normally wear for this cold weather is a lot of warm clothes, I wear two pair of warm socks, two pair of tights, a trouser and good boots, for the upper part I wear one thermal shirt, another shirt, a hoodie and a jacket plus my coat, don´t forget to wear good gloves, wool hat and a scarf, after all this clothes, I am finally ready to go out. I am not generally cold when I wear all this clothes except when is windy, the wind in Finland is very cold and it can be very annoying if is snowing at same time, sometimes I can´t even open my eyes.
In conclusion to survive a finnish winter you have to wear thousand of clothes, try to leave your house as less as possible, and get a finnish boyfriend/girlfriend that warms you during the cold nights.
