@pekkatahkola @inVinnieVeritas By the snow you can drive without any problems. "like frozen sugar glaze" - itโs like this. ๐
This morning I cycled a bit on streets that were frozen over - slippery enough that getting on the bike was a challenge. Riding was relatively safe, thanks to studded tires.

@pekkatahkola i had misread Oahu: the end of the world I thought! ๐คฃ
@sheislaurence Haha, that seems to happen surprisingly often ๐ You're at least the second person in the last five years to say that ๐คญ

โชIt is rather beautiful here in Oulu ๐ซ๐ฎ, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all ๐ค
-20ยฐC, wind chill -28ยฐC.This is one of our main cycling and walking routes (#8) and here we have a 5 km stretch with ZERO at-grade crossings with motor traffic. I repeat, it's physically impossible to meet any motor traffic here. So it is very peaceful, safe and comfortable to ride and walk completely uninterrupted. Just bliss.
@pekkatahkola Can I come live there? It looks and sounds very close to wonderful.

@pekkatahkola The temps here are not much different. But we've got those huge trucks. And way too much ice, not the good kind, the kind with guns and nazรฎs. I want out of here.

@retech Yeah. Ice needs to be and stay out.

@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,,,,

@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 ๐

@pekkatahkola it's pretty but i don't like the cold. it's too cold.

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