Joost, I bet Hämeenlinna (the actual castle & the surrounding area) looks gorgeous right now! If you want to check the local weather forecast this is a good link.
Farseer, we get about five and a half hours daylight right now and I consider that to be quite a lot since I live in "the south". A bit more than a week to go to Winter Solstice, so it'll get shorter still! One of the reasons I'm so happy about the cold is that it means we have proper snow. Proper snow = the short days don't bother me. This time of the year can be incredibly miserable and tough when it's all rain and sleet and 19 hours of darkness + 5 hours of greyness but YAY REAL WINTER!!! *is a fan* (One of the reasons I enjoyed [[The Reindeer People]] so much is that the winter descriptions are so spot on and beautifuk.)
