I have not ventured out much in January; too cold for my taste. Despite the biting chill, I’ve admired the beauty of the season from the warmth of my home. I should have gone out at least in the past few days, as the sunshine has made the white wintry landscape look shimmering and beautiful. However, it remains way too cold—-18°C at the moment, not my kind of weather. The frosty air keeps me indoors. So my last on my phone is a shot I took through my window at the frost, I would not have normally shared this, but it is the last on my mobile, and it shows a bit of the weather. Last on the card

The same excuse goes for this shot taken with my camera. Our grandson came over and obviously, I had to take photos of him. They grow up so fast, and they are so precious at this age.

In the coming days, the frost will remain intense in the southern parts of the country. Overnight, temperatures of -25 degrees are common in the interior, while the coast is slightly milder. During the day, temperatures will rise to around 15–18 degrees below zero. The high pressure over Northern Europe keeps the weather mostly dry, with widespread sunshine over the weekend. However, there is still some uncertainty in the cloudiness forecast. In Lapland, cloud cover will increase and the weather will milden on Sunday. The Meteorological Institute warns of severe frost in the southern, eastern, and northern parts of the country.

That was our forecast for the weekend. At the same time, I read news about the hot weather in Australia and that there has been snow in Florida, which makes me think of climate change.
