The ticking clock

Here's another update of the ice situation in Vaasa, Finland. First the current situation:

That's still 40-60 cm. of ice!

And this is the normal situation for this time of year:

That's also still 46 cm. of ice, so apparently that's what usually can melt away within less than 3 to 4 weeks.

Although we thought that the temperatures above zero for the last week would have shown some melting, according to the hard math of the Finnish Meteorological Institure this seems not quite the case so far. However, Simon has written some comforting words about this on his blog. We'll fish, not skate, that's for sure!
