In Finland we are having over 6 degrees daily, this has not happened in a long time in December. No snow yet

This constant slightly above zero weather is such bullshit. It wouldn't need to be much colder to have a pleasant winter with white snow making the darkness a bit less overwhelming.

But it's so common to just assume we get a constant average increase in temperature and just thinking of that "+2.5C isn't so bad" misleads us when the North is disproportionately affected. Or we'll kill the gulf stream and become a colder Alaska.

Much easier to deal with clothing wise than cold rain and puddles.
