Thanks, Kirk! I will update accordingly.
Wow! Thanks Alena, this is a fantastic rundown!
It is unbelievable that you guys, as well as those in central Europe, go skiing powder. Here in Finland we keep on receiving heavy rains. All the snow that occasionally lands will melt in day. I can’t believe this happens in Nordic countries. 20 years ago at my hometown in Lapland the temperature used to go below -40 celcius degrees. Not anymore.
