Plus, minus, minus, plus, what’s the difference?

Too bad I quite clearly do notice the difference between the inside temperature of my home, 21.7 degrees Celsius and the outside temperature, minus 21.7 degrees celsius.
temperatures even each other out

It would be sweet if there was a nice smooth temperature gradient outside my door to get used to the temperature, but no. It pretty much kicks my butt with full force the moment I step outside. Oh well, still it's better than the usual sloshy, wet and crappy winter we usually have near Helsinki, thanks to the sea being so close. And it's very pretty outside, too bad this makes me not really enjoy the idea of poking my nose out the door right now

That’s quite extreme. And I’ve been complaining about the snow… Unfortunately the high pressure front with nice temperatures should arrive during the weekend ..

Talking about gradients, I went from cycling in -18℃ in 8 m/s wind (effectively -30℃ according to http://www.fmi.fi/scr/tuotteet/PakkasenPurevuus/index.php) to +80℃ sauna within the hour. That’s 110-120℃ (depending what the cycling added to the wind) variation!

Obviously not something you want to happen too quickly

Not bad, we had -30 this morning in Moscow. It is -26 right now but expectations are to enjoy -26..-30 for another week.
