Dawn of the ice season

in #life7 years ago

I am sharing photos from were I live. This ice is locally called the Blue ice, it the first ice in the season and it is weak and not suitable to walk on.

This scrub is called sea buckthorn.

The Scandinavian vinter is finally showing itself, today we have -2 deg Celcius and the length of the day is 4h 42min. Sunlight is already fading.

Last year we had good ice at this time of the year.


The Baltic sea is freezing... but very late this season

The recent years the sea have frozen later, normally we would have had ice covering the sea at least a month ago. You can see the open water close to the horizon, only one kilometer from where I stand.

This is a diagram illustrating the median maximun/minimun temperatures compared to a 50 year average. It clearly shows that the temperature is overvalued and need to correct towards the negative 10 degree area. Global warming? maybe. Local variation it cloud also be. The record early time to fish from ice in this village is from late October, and that ice lasted until June. That makes a half year long vinter, the recent years it have been more like 3months...






The road is so slippery, but no problem I have got nails on my tyers, I really can recommend that for all of you who are biking in the vinter.

Boat grave yard
