Clear Night & Cold
OMG today the temperature was MINUS 17 C (Yeah you got it right).This is second time i am experiencing this low temperatures and i think February would be worse than this.
Well the forecast for Friday was MINUS 14C but the temperature beat the forecast. Helsinki would have been 2 or 3 degrees warmer cause it is more south than Hameenlinna i could have checked the temperature but didnt want to envy the people living there.
When we were discussing the temperature with Rittaa she said the clear sky at Thursday night was indication that next day would be cold.Well these are the things that i have learnt here like when it is Sunlight it means that it would be more cold outside.The first few days when i landed in Finland i was staying in hotel and one day i saw it was bright sunny day so i ventured out wearing a light jacket and came back frozen as ice-cream and so i learnt it hard way.The second thing which i had read it geography book but never experienced it that cloudy nights are warmer than clear nights abd its true.
I look back and find how much i have changed and adapted to the conditions here.In bangalore the temperature whole year remained between 18C to 30C and here if it is anything less than MINUS 5C then it is warm for me.
The second thing when it is too cold then try eating Ice cream it is kept at 0C or may be -1C so it is actually warm and soothing when you walk on the street eating ice-cream on days like this.
And i guess we all know this perfect marketing question " How to sell refrigerator to Eskimo?" The answer is Refrigerator is actually warm as outside temparature is -30C.
But i really love this place, lot of snow everywhere which glitters at night under light,the crunching sound when you walk on snow and thrilling experience when it is snowing big flakes.
