It's Officially Cold in Finland!

This morning I woke up and turned on my computer. The weather gadget on my desktop sadly informed me that it was -6 degrees. I figured it wouldn't be a big deal so I added a scarf to my outfit. Today is one of those deceiving days. For once it was a bright morning, so you get the impression that it will be warm... well, its not. I went outside to get my bike and -6 turned into a big deal. All of the bikes are covered in a thick layer of frost. So my journey to school began by scraping the frost off of my bike seat. As I was scraping it occurred to me how much worse it is to scrape frost off of a bike than it is a car. At least with a car you know you can turn on the heat and it will be warm in a matter of minutes. With a bike, that's not quite the case... you're going to get colder as the wind hits you.
Hmm, I may need to go back to my original opinion on biking in winter...
