@crenquis The soundscape of cold weather and snow is so wonderful indeed, I love it 🥰
@pekkatahkola By the way, I grew up near Oulu (Oulu, Wisconsin)

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola lovely photos! I’ve only seen frost like that once in Czech Republic in 2017. So thick on trees it was like lichen. I wonder if there’s a specific name or term for that?

@pekkatahkola @CosmicCactus How do you keep the bicycle from slipping and sliding or is the snow route prepped accordingly?
@bensunshine @CosmicCactus It is. We call it maintenance
-
@pekkatahkola Do you use some sort of winter tires on bicycles?
@CosmicCactus I bet not on regularly maintained lanes, as non-icy snow grips even thin and slick bike tires quite well -- as surprisingly it might feels the first times.
But let's wait if @pekkatahkola sees your question. -

@kimlockhartga @pekkatahkola There’s a marathon reading of Tove Jansson stories on Finnish TV right now. https://mementomori.social/@saaste/115984952580403088

@arratoon @pekkatahkola oh cool! I've only met one Finn-American. I think his surname is pretty common there: Hannula. Funny thing, his first name is John, so essentially John-John.

I dontg think my arthritic knees would be too pleased but.... I miss winter...

This is unspeakable beautiful. Would it be possible to have a video of the scenery? Including the sound of bike on snow? I'd love to hear that once... Or maybe you already have one uploaded?

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola Lovely pictures, but I have to say, I lived for six months in the rural area outside Kuopio (albeit 37 years ago) so I'm not sure I'd be too eager to try Oulu even farther north. You're up at 65N and I'm down here at 42N thinking the days are still too short. A different kind of folk to be sure.

@Zimtfisch I don't know about the crying ones, but screaming ones yes: https://www.huutajat.org/en/
Although I don't think "screaming" is a perfect translation either, but that's what they seem to go with themselves so whatever
@pekkatahkola Yes, of course I meant the screaming choir!
