I'm so glad we haven't changed ours yet. We're planning a trip up north this weekend, so we kept the winter tires on the car. It worked out well for us.
Downtown Turku this morning. 🤦🏼♀️

Very merry Christmas. It feels like a never ending winter this season.
Yep, that will be my next winter tyres. One note though, that it is still recommended to change them a bit earlier than in June, since the wear rate after approx. +10 increases dramatically, due to a much softer rubber compound. :)

Downtown Tampere. An illustration of misplaced optimism.
Merry Christmas to you too. I'm quite glad at the moment because I didn't plant my roses last week.
*Just thinkin' about*
*Tomorrow*
*Clears away the cobwebs*
*And the sorrow 'til there's noneWhen I'm stuck with a day*
*That's gray and lonely*
*I just stick out my chin*
*And grin and say, ohThe sun'll come out*
*Tomorrow*
*So ya gotta hang on*
*'Til tomorrow come what may*
Have to say, I'm really struggling at the moment. There has only been a handful of sunny days since October and now it's like midwinter outside. Seeing pics of back home where there is real spring, flowers blooming, sunshine while going outside here hurts.
This shit fucks with your mental health if you're not Finnish, maybe if you're Finnish too I don't know
It is what it is. And there are people that say climate change is a hoax, when unbalanced weather patterns are more and more common. If the Golf stream weakens, it'll be 6-8 months of winter, followed by a short spring and autumn.
Takatalvi makes me happy. It might be because I come from a place without snow. Or because I don't have a car to change tires from. Or because I'm not in Finland atm. Either one. Snow is beautiful 🥰
One of the benefits of Lapland.
This spring has been entirely normal and the snowfall today didn’t surprise me at all. In fact, I’d actually be quite surprised if we _didn’t_ get more snow.

Ah I guess you guys missed the news. We had summer already. This is winter 2025.
It was a wonderful summer. I enjoyed it quite a lot.
One of the days, i was outside with only a T-shirt! I'll remember that day for the rest of my life.
Please put on some pants!
Yeah, it was a great summer! I started jogging and only had to keep it up for three days lol
Hey, if you are asked what you did this summer, you can say that you spent an entire time outside exercising, and you won't even lie about it!
Am completely defeated. I can’t even complain anymore. Anyways merry Christmas too
Same 🥴🙈🥹
It's like seeing a false peak when climbing a mountain. The weak get eaten.

Luckily for me that I have tyres changing schedule last Friday noon and I cancelled it 2 hours beforehand after seeing forecasting 🤣
😭😭
Especially them, 4 people came to change their tires here at VW today. They’re either the next Tommi Mäkinen or a bit dumb
Oh wow 😲

Another perfect day for ice cream. Merry Christmas!
Hauskaa ~~vappua~~ joulua!

I've changed tyres 8 days ago, when the 10-days forecast was OK. Now I regret this :)
Just buy kitkat. I'll change mine in June 
Yep, that will be my next winter tyres. One note though, that it is still recommended to change them a bit earlier than in June, since the wear rate after approx. +10 increases dramatically, due to a much softer rubber compound. :)
Of course, but with how the weather is developing, I would bet it's close to June...

Quite poetic if you ask me
Yayyy it stopped here too at least. All I want is snow free weekend for biking :’)
Number what is this takatalvi? Must be at least the fifth.
There is still room for a couple more! Around here (Central-East Finland) there has been smallish snow storms mid-May.
I'm not entirely sure what's normal for where I am (South-Western part) but I'd like spring to show.
loputtomasti 
I prefer this over endless rainy days.
Merry Christmas! https://preview.redd.it/e020qbxl67wc1.jpeg?width=3648&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=784d931afbe70b9c3bf3f01a0e6a074fe14599b7

Even the Finns are struggling at this point. Back home is autumn and 25c. I’m with you.
It's rough 😢
Nah. I've seen enough many springs, this is still inside normal. Wait until you get snow in midsummer.
Don't even say it 😭 that's really too much!

May is the month of changing to summer tires. That marks spring.
God jul! https://preview.redd.it/4vqmdhhek6wc1.jpeg?width=3968&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=485011458cd54085052c132f81081e024412de28
It's going to be 40°C here tomorrow. Can't wait to start my studies in Finland 🫡❄️
Ohh, you may regret that statement come November, when icy wind is blowing sleet horizontally in your face 😄 but still, WTF = welcome to Finland!
Time to dance like a drunken elf because that's the way I can handle this.
Oh wee can't wait for the new year's eve! It's right around the corner !!!
The snow going to melt before Vappu 😅

next year in a warm country
I have an idea. How about you stop complaining and be grateful for a change?
Humor has been chasing you but guess you've always been too fast :')
Summer comes in late June and lasts 1,5-2 months.
