Shoots and leaves...
The whims and woes, highs and lows, of trying to grow fruit and veg in Nordic latitudes.
My new laptop refuses to recognise the weather station so I am back on the old hp Touchsmart to update the winter weather data.
It has been an exceptionally mild winter with temperatures mostly hovering around zero. There were a few dramatic dips though especially during the Christmas holidays: On 26th December at midnight we had -15.3C and the coldest temperature of the winter so far was on 29th December at midday when the mercury hit -20C. In January the coldest day was 6th (I was in the UK!) at -17.7 and then on the 12th we had a milder -12.9C. In between the chilly dips we had many frostless days culminating in a positively balmy +11.9C on the 11th February which could well be warmer than last year's midsummer when I spent two days in bed with flu. Then the temperatures dipped again briefly during Valentine's weekend but climbed just above zero during the day. We had cloudless skies and a magnificent view of the Milky Way when we took our sauna on Sunday night.
