It is rather beautiful here in Oulu 🇫🇮, right now.

@pekkatahkola not having to wear a helmet to protect yourself from inconsiderate car driver related eventualities frees up your head for a floofy hat too,,,,
@CIMB4 Exactly. Or whatever you want to wear

@pekkatahkola Is Oulu the City of the crying-man-choire?
@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

@CosmicCactus No, I don't.
@pekkatahkola @CosmicCactus How do you keep the bicycle from slipping and sliding or is the snow route prepped accordingly?

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola Greetings from upstate New York! -11C, wind chill -16C. I used to spend a lot of time in Oulu for work. Lovely place.

#Oulu #MeanwhileInOulu@pekkatahkola Stunning. Dare I say breathtaking. (Mind you , the wind chill of -28°C would be enough to take your breath away!)

@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...
can I apply for asylum, the country I was born in is full nazi now... -
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?
