Is it even safe to lift in this climate?

It's raining here so all good.

How short are your days now?

Do you ever wish you had air conditioning? We don't have them in the Pacific Northwest either but sometimes it does get uncomfortably hot inside. If I owned my condo I'd install a unit.

21°C over here. Feels damn good

About an hour of "daylight" now. Sun rises at 11:00 and sets at 12:12.
But the 100% humidity we have been stuck with since last month prevents any light from getting through so pretty much pitch black 24/7.

Basado. 6C here.

COMFY

How does that feel to get no sun? when does it rise again?

Jesus Christ I’d definitely have killed myself long ago if we only had an hour of sunlight in the winter.

Feels alright. It's much harder up in Kiruna for example, there the sun won't rise until the middle of January next year.
Here the days are getting longer already. The midwinter solstice happened last night for us so days are getting longer. Still, will be another month at least before we have more than a few hours of daylight.

Sun is terrible for your skin and you should avoid it like the plague

If by some reason you have vit D deficiency, take pills

I wouldn't bear desu and i like cold weather.

you ever lived in a cold climate?

Like my friend here said, here in Kiruna we got the real polar nights.
It's been dark now for about 28-29 days and will be for a while longer.
We survive like this
>lots of fruit
>coffee
>special light bulbs that emit "sunlight"
>bonfires EVERYWHERE
>alcohol

0°C on winter nigga.

-20°C is when it starts to actually get cold.

Everyone have different visions on what's cold.

kinda sounds fun

Sounds fucking depressing dude. I already have serious seasonal depression, not sure I could handle no light

How many suicides so far?

Pffffft, fag.

-20°C is fine as long as it's dry.
-27°C here now and 100% humidity. It feels like knives in your lungs and on your skin.
Hell it was more comfy with -35°C and 12% humidity a few weeks ago.
Humidity sucks..
You two are completely different kek.
But you also show the reality of things. Some people do just fine with the darkness. Others lose their fucking minds.
One last week but his wife died of cancer so the light wasn't the issue.

Here's Kiruna on a normal day, plenty of lights giving people some well needed brightness.

does this shit light up things like the moon?

Pretty much kek, Kiruna uses an insane amount of electricity every day but it's renewable so good I guess.
There's over 3.8 million lights in the city and it's not even a big town.

i mean the northern lights

Ah. Yes I guess it does. Not really but the light from the northern lights colour the moonlight a bit so sometimes the moon looks green/blue

that looks really fucking cool. I spent some time up in our north. it kind of feels like a different world altogether.

How is northern Canada?
Any bigger cities/towns?
Kinda wanna visit.

Northern Canada has an odd history. quite a bit of indigenous communities up there. Canada is sparsely populated making our northern settlements even more isolated.

Some interesting places to consider would be-
Iqaluit 7,740
Yellowknife 19,569
Whitehorse 25,085

We don't have too many large cities in the far north, most Canadians live within 300km of the border. That's not to say that we don't have cool northern cities though

Hmm, been checking out some places on google. Looks a lot like home . But northern Canada seems a lot more "barren" than northern Sweden. We have forests and lots of vegetation even in the furthest north.

That's very true, I think we have a much harsher climate for equal latitude. I wouldn't necessarily visit those places if I was you. The travel time between those places and any other large cities is usually quite large. Canada has the burden of low population and huge land mass making transport between the country difficult. Generally, our largest tourist attractions are our nature. I would recommend
Québec City
Banff and Lake Louise, Alberta
Gros Morne National Park, Newfoundland

I could list more but I find those ones to be pretty interesting. Especially Québec City, it's like being in Europe but in North America.

What about Sweden, I've wanted to check it out for a while now. Anywhere, in particular, I should check out?

Thanks for the tips, will check them out.
Here in Sweden?
Cities that I would aim for (not just the north)
Stockholm (it's a great city actually and the Vasa Museum alone is worth a visit)
Gothenburg (very comfy place)
Visby on the island of Gotland (the history of that place, google image it trust me)

And of course the north, if you like hiking I would recommend Kungsleden which runs all of Lapland down to Norrland and beyond. It's a huge path with countless different options.
If you visit during Christmas time I highly suggest Jokkmokk as their Christmas market is out of this world.
Kiruna, home sweet home isn't huge but it has spirit and character. Though I wouldn't go out of my way just for a visit.

Yeah of course.
It's good to know that Stockholm isn't overhyped, reinforces my desire to visit there. Gothenburg and Visby look amazing.
I remember seeing a picture of Visby before and wondering where it was. Thanks for solving that mystery for me, the place looks amazing, like all medieval and stuff.

Damn, they all sound so cool. I'm definitely going to look into these places some more thanks for the suggestions.

I'm curious, you ever been outside of Sweden? if so where?

Visby is absolutely worth a visit. I go there every year during the Medieval Week.

And yes, I have left the Swedish shores a few times. I went to Iceland with my with my wife on our honeymoon and that was just magical. Iceland is wonderful.
Also been to Greece (Athens and some smaller towns), loved it though the heat nearly killed me.
And then Finland and Norway but that's our neighbours so not much of a trip.

When does the medieval week usually take place? I would love to go there for that.

Iceland has always been one of the places that interest me the most, that and Sweden/Norway/Finland... etc. would you say there is a best between the three? Fin, Nor, and Swe. I know you probably have a biased but I'm curious.

August 4th to the 11th.

medeltidsveckan.se/en/

Please man, for your own sake. Go visit. If you like history and fun you will love it.
Just imagine this
>1200 knights
>400 horses
VS
>800 peasant soldiers
>100 horses
>catapults

It's larping but damn if it's not cool to watch. And it's all standing on ancient ground where stuff like that really happened.
The town has a medieval wall around for gods sake!

>a best between the three? Fin, Nor, and Swe

Actually I'm kinda split. Norway has mind boggling nature and beautiful towns straight from Vikings scattered around the country.
Sweden, well Sweden is home and it's great.
Finland? Uh, well Finland is Finland. It's a stranger version of Sweden. Great if you like heavy metal, drinking and strange foods. Though Helsinki (the capital) is a lot like Stockholm.
I would probably say Norway. It's expensive but worth every penny, and Sweden is always a few hours away by train so win win.

I'm visiting Europe in the summer and wasn't sure where to visit exactly, now you've sold it to me.
That sounds so cool though damn.

Interesting is it hard to move to Sweden or Norway. how much do you guys joke about each other?

What's it like celebrating Christmas in Summer?

>how much do you guys joke about each other?
A lot. It's a friendly relationship though and you'll have a hard time finding someone from either country that truly dislike the other.

If you visit the Medieval Week you'll share the place with people from all over Scandinavia and the rest of Europe as well. Then you'll see.

Honestly, no idea how hard it is to move here. Never tried ;) But I do know that if you have worked here in Sweden for 5 years you can apply for citizenship. Guess google can answer that question better.

Lmao this has to be a joke

I had to cut firewood in -25C weather (daily high)

>be brazilian
>be fat ugly and unfit
>can only lift in

I know the feeling. I work construction and sometimes it's kinda chilly.
Building walls on the 5th floor in -40 with nothing but small space heaters is painful.

Yeah but it feels nice once you get indoors. I can walk in -20c weather in jeans and a sweater with a jacket and I feel okay. In 2c weather it somehow feels colder, maybe because it bites in a different way.

macaco

That tingly feeling when you start getting warm again is 10/10. I like you leaf, you know your shit.
And yes, often feels colder when it's actually warmer outside. I rather have -20 than +2 and rain for example.
