Finns are always talking about how much the cold doesn't bother them, while Russians refuse fuck around with it.
I once traveled in the winter with a group of friends. Most of us were just wearing a winter jacket, but the one Russian wore no less than two woolen sweaters and two thick jackets, wrapped a scarf around his head and put a hat on top.
Weather effects in Finland and rest of the World:
+15c Spanish wear caps, gloves and winter coats, Finns are sunbathing.
+10c French desperately try to get their central heating on. Finns plant flowers.
+5c Italian cars won't start. Finns drive with convertibles.
... 0c Pure water freezes. Water in river Vantaa thinkens a bit.
-5c First people are found frozen in California. Finnish midsummer festival ends.
-10c Scottish turn the heat on in their houses. Finns start to use long-sleeve shirts.
-20c Swedes stay indoors. Finns are having last barbeque before winter.
-30c Half of the Greek people have frozen to death. Finns start to dry their laundry indoors.
-40c Fake Santas are moving to south. Finnish army cancels winter training due to warm weather.
-50c Daninsh people are loosing their teeth. Finns rent movies and stay indoors.
-60c Polarbears evacuate North Pole. Finnish army starts its winter training.
-70c Siberian people are moving to Moscow. Finns are furious since the Koskenkorva can't be stored outdoors anymore.
-273c ABsolute Zero. Finns admit that it is quite cold outside.
-300c Hell freezes over. Finland wins soccer World Cup.
P.S. Personally I feel that in the last remark it would've sufficed to claim that Finland qualifies to the competition. Then again, according to the logic of the joke, other people probably would have perished already, so the win would be inevitable.
@Jouni meanwhile in Brazil:
+16c people are Freezing and wandering why the weather is so cold/anormal because is freaking hot here (even in the winter)
@Jouni this seems to be updated version. Last one use to be "hell freezes all over. Finland wins eurovision song contest. " but then Lordi came and hell froze.
@Jouni
Living in Alaska I went and converted this to Fahrenheit for my perspective
15c/59f Well thats June for you
10c/50f What a lovely spring, school lets out
5c/41f The season known as 'break up', water is everywhere in April. The beached ice flows next to the river are fun to jump on and break. Coats are stored and sweatshirts are all you need
0c/32f Leaves are frosted, time to go back to school. go find the jacket you haven't worn in 5 months
-5c/23 HALLOWEEN ITS SNOWING
-10c/14f Thanksgiving break was quite nice, i should put a hat on though. Starts warming car in the morning
-30c/-22f Finals Week at uni before Winter break, breaking out the cleats as I walk to class.
-40c/-40f Car was running for 20 minutes but still isnt warm, i just drive with mittens on.
-50c/-58f Start sewing old tshirts and fabric scraps into new blankets and make the dog a sweater for when it goes pee outside
-60c/-76f News reports that we are nearing our record low temperature! Nobody gives a damn. Still driving to work with mittens on.
-70c/-94f Its never been this cold. Everyone rejoices that it is because it means a low bug population in the spring and the weak non Alaskans will never return.
Alaskans dont bundle like Russians, we wear one, two if you're a kid, layers of good quality gear. I drive with Mink trimmed fleece and wool mittens, they are warm and soft.
@real-cool-cat Reporting from the Russian side: yesterday to get some groceries from the store across the road I had to put on a sleeveless T-shirt, a regular T-shirt, a sweater, a scarf and a giant winter jacket.
'@3ergling' I just visited downtown of the city and it was -28 celsius. This is not something that any mothersexual intercourseing numbers can sexual intercourseing describe and I don't care how much colder it gets somewhere else, that was a goddamn hardcore shit. Equal medal for everyone doing their groceries in -28 or colder. It was sexual intercourseing unbelievable even well-clothed, even though I have experienced -38 almost 10 years ago. Same shit, the air around you is trying to kill you. :D
'@Tyrson' You don't know Rissua? It's an evil mafia-run empire, that is bombing Ekrainu and supporting middle-east tyrants like Bashar Al-Bastard, and it's infamous dictator, Vlidimar Pitun is a crazy midget with manboobs that is threatening other countries with 1970's nuclear weapons since their outdated rusty tanks and wobbly warplanes don't scare even third world countries like Tyrkeu anymore. :XD:
'@VerDrake' It is very unhealthy, in the notorious Rissua, the average life expectancy is really low, for males somewhere around 60 years. While we here are just finishing our studies in that age.
@real-cool-cat, never heard about more retarded country, than that one, where citizens can't learn nothing before they became an old people.
What a poor site u talking about?
I always think: better cold than heat.
You can wear a lot of clothes and turn on the heating when its cold, but when its hot the only thing you can do is sweat
