I must say I am shocked with the weather conditions here in Finland. Just few days ago we finally received snow. Now it is melting fast! I remember we used to have very cold winters in early 80's. I went skiing when it was even -25 to -30 in northern Finland. I live in Hel(l)sinki now and I see the snow melting. Just unbelievable..

Depressing winter.

Have you recognized climate changes in where you live?

I haven't seen snow here (South coast of England) for getting on for ten years. :( - I make do with the lovely pictures on the internet.

I don't know what it was like before then as I lived in Scotland.
It's only a slope.

Winters are definately getting milder. I live in N Ireland and I remember as a child not being able to get to school because of a foot of snow on the main roads. We used to have really high snow drifts up the garage walls and would have to dig the car out. My uncle even built me an igloo once! :)
