First sunny day in this year 3.01.2019. Frost -15C_ Finland, winter 2019
Hi all! I'm here again. :-))
We didn't have sun from December 23, 2018. And finally it was beautiful weather today... but too cold.
This winter constantly surprises us. It was a strong winter storm on New Year's Eve. Official fireworks were canceled, street concerts too. Fortunately no one canceled champagne. ;-)))))
Yesterday was an other winter storm, it was more stronger then the first. An exceptionally strong winter storm (called Aapeli) has caused widespread power cuts and traffic problems across Finland. Wind speeds reached 41,6 m/s on the sea and it was 20-28 m/s here. A new wave height record of 7,9 meters was set in the Baltic sea. It was red danger level.
More than 100,000 households were without power around Finland. Cruise ferries between Finland and Sweden were unable to call at the port of Mariehamn in the Åland Islands.
What did I do on these days...
I worked in the office, went to the swimming pool in the evening and... I tried to learn new English words ;-)))))))))
And finally... we had a sunny day today, Only one problem:
Sunrise is here at 9:33 and sunset at 15:10. I'm in the office at this time. I have only one possibility to take photos: on my lunch break. Not so good time for taking photos... and weather was without clouds... but I tried. :-)))
I'll try to catch up with you, my Flickr friends...
