Europe upside down

February 18, 2008

Once upon a time Athens was known to be in southern Europe, and Stockholm in northern Europe. Nowadays the weather over the past few days indicates the opposite. Take a look below, from Stockholm (via webbkameror) and Athens (via cosmo.gr) respectively, photos taken on Sunday February 17th 2008:

While it is not so rare for snow to cover the Greek capital (it happens once every 2-3 years), for the Swedish capital it seems that this year’s winter will be the mildest in the past 250 years. At the moment (2008.02.18 at 08:17 AM), according to weather.com temperatures are -5 for Athens and +3 for Stockholm :P . It’s an interesting contrast between two very distant regions of Europe and maybe an indication of climatic change?

Simply too soon!

January 30, 2008

Swedish winter is still wanted! Probably another sign of Global Warming. Things are quite messed up nowadays, as a gardener in southern Sweden discovered that his potatoes, sown in August, were ready to be harvested last weekend. That’s “Absolutely not Swedish”, just crazy!
