My dad said the two worst blizzards he ever saw in his life were both in the first week of May.

but you are in Finland! its sopposed to do weird stuff like that.


something offtopic: my oldest is in Finland for a teaching gig. woot!

I guess so. Next week is going to be really hot according to forecasts. On tuesday it might reach +27C (80F?) 😱. I don't ever remember it being that hot in May. I'll be sweating like a pig, I hate the heat. We're lucky if we break +27C a few of days in a summer during July, not May. We might break the all time temperature record for May the coming week. Weather has gone crazy.

That. I'm coastal Connecticut and my area got hammered by Sandy, but the Halloween Nor'Easter wasn't too bad. We lost power in Sandy for 2 full days and only had about 5 hours of outages from the Nor'Easter. I have relatives upstate and it was completely the opposite for them, they got nothing from Sandy and the Nor'Easter was an apocalypse. EVERY SINGLE BLOCK in the northern half of the state looked like this:

If your street was 6 blocks long there would be 20 trees down breaking wires in 20 different places. The process would be:

Plow to get the crews to the first breakage.
Remove trees
Fix wires
Plow to get the crews to the next breakage.
Remove trees
Fix wires

Repeat for EVERY downed tree. The combination required of needing a plowing crew, a tree removal team and the power company linemen to babystep their way down each street fixing dozens of problems one at a time was a nightmare. It was essentially the same sort of damage you'd see from a major hurricane except there was more than a foot of snow covering everything making it that much more complicated to clean up.

We (as a nation) should be putting all utilities underground. Sure, it's more expensive short term, but long term you end with shit like you just described. And I'm pretty sure it's more expensive long term. Where we live we lose power several times every summer because of some downed tree...
