Yesterday it was +7°C and rain. Today all the snow is gone.

I think there are several factors contributing to the change we've seen in our weather. There is scientific data showing that overall warming in Fennoskandia area has been faster than the global average. A lot simplified, weather in Finland tends to be some kind of function of three big systems; the Atlantic weather, the Siberian weather, and the Arctic weather. All of those systems have changed over the recent decades, resulting in mild winters being more common in Finland.

But these things they aren't linear nor simply straightforward. The effects of overall global warming might occasionally mean colder and more snowy winters in the eastern U.S. and Europe.

Sigh. I often do miss the winters of my childhood. As we kept on clearing our yard, snow piles formed on all sides of the yard. And by x-mas time those snow piles were always so big that we could dig tunnels and caves in the snow.
