Okay, I take some of my words back. We've had lots of snow even by finnish standards, regionally more than in the previous couple of decades.
The railway system's been struggling lately because of the snow load in the tracks (although they've been dealing with it I guess, it's more about the lack of resources, than the weather). And now there's been talks about roofs collapsing under the weight of wet snow, if they can't clear it in time. Also some are predicting severe floods in the spring in southern finland.
despite that, this is just a proper winter you occasionally get up here. People have got used to the warmer and less snowy winters we've had in last few years. But how I miss the summer, god damnit.
However, I take great delight in the fact that you british would be completely fucked under similar circumstances.
