So far the weather hasn’t been quite as bad as I was expecting. When I went out to the post office yesterday (more on that story later!) it was -3°C, but didn’t feel particularly cold. A little chilly, perhaps, but certainly nothing to, erm, blog home about.
This evening, however, whilst sitting typing emails, I noticed at one point that my feet were feeling a little colder than usual. A quick check of my weather widget informed that this was mostly likely due to the temperature dropping to -8°.
At least I’m not walking home via the docks, as the wind chill is reporting -14°…
Well this is mild, during this time of year. Last year we had -32 Celsius. Now that is cold. Proper Estonian winters are around -10 Celsius. Then the snow is like powder and during the days (short as they are) the sun will shine.
Also considering the fact that on the same latitude in Siberia -30 to -40 Celsius is considered normal, this is bloody warm. 🙂
Equip yourself with winter gear, since February is the coldest month of the year.
Have always harboured an interest in the Northern Hemisphere,so I’ve found your accounts very interesting.Thinking of paying a visit to Tallinn.Is there still snow in March ?Do you know of any nice place to stay ?
By the way I live in Dublin..from West.What about Ryanair flights to there ?
Snow is starting to clear up at the minute – not sure whether there’ll be more – weather has been very temperamental this year.
I don’t think Ryanair fly here yet, but you can fly Estonian Air from Dublin, or Easyjet from London.
Where do I get the tallinn weather widget from? I’m here for 3 months from Australia. I left behind drought and 36 degrees and I have climate jet lag.
On OSX I use the built in Dashboard widgets. On Windows I use the Yahoo Widgets.
