FI-2149475 FI-2271457 SW EW-451 Winter in Finland (2)

These are my second, third and fourth postcard of winter in Finland.  To see the first (and fifth) postcards go to this post: FI-2030324 Winter in Finland.

During January and February, there is almost always snow in northern and eastern Finland. Even if there’s little snow in Helsinki, there’s often up to a metre or more on the slopes in Lapland. 

The snow season in northern Finland begins in November and lasts at least until May. In the inland regions of southern and central Finland, the first snow falls at the beginning of December and melts during late March and April.

The second winter postcard came from Jarno (22 July 2014) Postcrossing, the third winter postcard came from Marika (.23 January 2015) Postcrossing and the fourth postcard is from Sari V. (Tuutis) (6 February 2015) Swap-bot.
