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.
-
@retech Of course
@pekkatahkola The temps here are not much different. But we've got those huge trucks. And way too much ice, not the good kind, the kind with guns and nazîs. I want out of here.

@retech Yeah. Ice needs to be and stay out.

@pekkatahkola Is Oulu the City of the crying-man-choire?

@pekkatahkola not having to wear a helmet to protect yourself from inconsiderate car driver related eventualities frees up your head for a floofy hat too,,,,

@Zimtfisch I don't know about the crying ones, but screaming ones yes: https://www.huutajat.org/en/
Although I don't think "screaming" is a perfect translation either, but that's what they seem to go with themselves so whatever

@pekkatahkola it's pretty but i don't like the cold. it's too cold.

@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 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?
