So much snow. I wish the snow here would stay too, since I've slowly getting sick of constant rains and I wouldn't mind if it would get a lot colder either.

Seeing your pictures makes me wonder if the Gulf Stream has gotten warmer in recent years and causes this kind of changes in Gulf of Bothnia.
I still remember when I was young we would have snow and cold weather before November. These days it is kind of a miracle if we will get any staying snow in December.
