It is rather beautiful here in Oulu
, right now. Absolutely no filters needed at all 🤌
-20°C, wind chill -28°C.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 uff you're tough!

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

@pekkatahkola Greetings from upstate New York! -11C, wind chill -16C. I used to spend a lot of time in Oulu for work. Lovely place.

@pekkatahkola Stunning. Dare I say breathtaking. (Mind you , the wind chill of -28°C would be enough to take your breath away!)

@crenquis The soundscape of cold weather and snow is so wonderful indeed, I love it 🥰
@pekkatahkola By the way, I grew up near Oulu (Oulu, Wisconsin)

@pekkatahkola lovely photos! I’ve only seen frost like that once in Czech Republic in 2017. So thick on trees it was like lichen. I wonder if there’s a specific name or term for that?

@pekkatahkola so beautiful! I would love to see Finland.

@pekkatahkola @CosmicCactus How do you keep the bicycle from slipping and sliding or is the snow route prepped accordingly?
@bensunshine @CosmicCactus It is. We call it maintenance
-
@pekkatahkola Do you use some sort of winter tires on bicycles?
@CosmicCactus I bet not on regularly maintained lanes, as non-icy snow grips even thin and slick bike tires quite well -- as surprisingly it might feels the first times.
But let's wait if @pekkatahkola sees your question. -

@kimlockhartga @pekkatahkola There’s a marathon reading of Tove Jansson stories on Finnish TV right now. https://mementomori.social/@saaste/115984952580403088
