Finland has four seasons, or in other words a real winter.
Summer is easy, beautiful, especially after the long winter.
Autumn gentle even sometimes a little too fast.
Winter is a long and dark, but also clear and beautiful.

Finnish summer is never too hot, just around 25. Still the lakes heat up and swimming in the near by lake is a daily activity.
Usually there is varying amounts of snow from the beginning of November to the end of March. Sometimes it melts, often not.
We only call it cold when it gets below minus 15 (and it does!). And it get dark , which we see as the opposite of the light in summer.
Very rarely we see a Boreals.
