Nice mountain ranges there. The views must be great there (and the nature  
in general). Probably a great place for hiking. :)

Rovaniemi is pretty north in Finland, I live 630 km to the south (Finland  
is a quite small country; it's total length is 1160 km).

Of course Rovaniemi is in north overall also; its latitude is 66.5', right  
on the Arctic Circle. Which plots, as we all know ;) , over northern Yokon  
Territory. I live near the latitude of 61', which goes over the southern  
Yokon or northern British Columbia.

I'm glad that the Gulf-stream warms the feather here in Finland  
(especially in southern parts). Without it there would be much colder!

Good for you! (I think that's amazing and admirable!) 8)

I can imagine that a headlamp will be handy... :)
I don't run so much. Some bicycling in summer and cross-country skiing in  
winter.

Yes, windchill indeed makes it cold. Your face and throat (and lower parts  
of your ears) tend to freeze unless properly covered with a scarf. If you  
don't have glasses, then your eyes will be freezing... not so comfortable.

I remember one time when I was late for school, and forgot my gloves. It  
wasn't so cold (only something like -5 at most), so I didn't get them.  
After 0.5 km or so, I have to stop and put my hands to my armpits to warm  
them up. Oh, youth and stupidity. :)
