Daily Life in the Cold North of Finland

[@suebrown436]

I was feeling a little cold just watching this! Thank you for filming outside and showing us what it can really be like in such bitterly cold temperatures. It is indeed beautiful! I absolutely love the sweater you made.

[@Martin_Skywatcher]

When I was in Norway in the winter where it was -20 during the day and -30 at night, everyone took their batteries out of the car and stored them in the house. Some even used electric blankets to keep their car engines warm.

[@sannavaara]

We do a lot of things for the cars to work and still sometimes they just don't 🙈😁

[@kayaker9912]

Beautiful video Sanna! People who do not live in cold and snowy climates have no idea the extra work it takes to live, but to me, it is wonderful. I love shoveling, bringing in wood for the wood stoves and baking. The sweater is beautiful! Enjoy your cozy winter.

[@delphinebatailleroche2622]

An incredibly beautiful landscape ❤the sweater looks so cosy

[@sl9906]

Thank you for the hardiness of your spirit and sharing the beauty of your world with us 💖

[@DewdropsAndBlueberries]

I don't know you but I love your personality! You have a beautiful smile, a cute giggle, and your voice is really nice to listen to. Seems like you carry the beauty of the landscape around you in your spirit. Thanks for sharing a bit of your world!

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much, such beautiful words 🥰

[@jennifertiner-barnes2261]

It brings me such peace to watch your life- thank you

[@Ladythyme]

That’s the motto of my life, “Live with no expectations” …it’s the key to contentment 😊

[@sannavaara]

That is a wise motto 🥰

[@matildakarinsdotter]

So so beautiful! I absolutely love your videos Sanna 💙

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much, Matilda 🥰

[@TACrawford]

I love that: "Nowhere never disappoints, because there are no expectations" 🥰❤ That line alone, really puts things into perspective. Thank you

[@ellaalley2040]

Sanna your new sweaters are absolutely beautiful!! Your are so very talented. You knit, take gorgeous pictures and play music your amazing.i just love your videos. Finland is gorgeous. Stay warm God bless from Colorado, USA

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@roberthilliard4833]

Sanna, the first few frames of your vlog captivated me so much, I don't experience such deep cold here in England. -10 Celsius would be about as low as I've known it go in the High Peak, that would be exceptional and we would be cut off at that point! Thank you for filming your beautiful country in such exceptional cold you have been experiencing, it is at the same time awe inspiring, breathtaking and slightly frightening. I really appreciate you sharing this with us.

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@moniquem8093]

The sweater you made for Esa is stunning, great job, thanks for linking the pattern,

[@kimberlyearly8918]

I can't get over how much snow you have and how beautiful it is. If we had snow like that in the US people are stuck at home.

[@vicsillnorth7970]

Oh, there’s lots of places in the US with real winter temperatures and lots of snow!

[@karenhawkins1275]

Thank you for sharing your beautiful area of the world with us! The sweater you knitted is a piece of artwork. ❤

[@sannavaara]

Thank you 🥰

[@monikadoyle-realtor9559]

You seem like the nicest person!! Very gentle, kind, loving and patient. Your sweaters are absolutely amazing too!!! You could make a good income selling those gorgeous works of art! I could see them easily selling for $300-400 in the US

[@erics607]

This is similar to where I live in the US. We just got 12-14 inches of snow, and last night the temperatures dropped into the negatives. Nowhere near as cold as this, but it's still cold. It looks beautiful out where I am, but at the same time I don't enjoy the cold haha.

[@FlyingPeacocks]

Thank you for more inspirational content Sanna. Thank you for reminding me of my love for Nowhere - I need to go there more often this year too!

[@sannavaara]

Ah, definitely go there 😍 I'm so glad everyone can go there whenever they want and need to ❤️

[@Liofa73]

That pink sky is totally the 'Belt of Venus' atmospheric effect. It's the Rayleigh scattering of light at dawn of dusk! So cool. :)

[@jenmorricone4014]

Thank you!

[@jeromekiemes6543]

Hello and Thank you Mrs Sanna Vaara🙏🙏🙏

[@vickiebrannon5217]

So beautiful! Thank you!

[@Snaproll47518]

Beautiful countryside and lifestyle. You are a talented knitter, Sanna. We have a chilly -13 this morning and light snow in the forecast for Kentucky, USA

[@hildegardstary9965]

😃so schön anzusehen! Wünsche dir alles Gute!🤗

[@evegrace12]

One of the things i love the most about winter is how the sky turns to this soft pink when the sunset comes. I love winter 's soft colors so much. Everything in nature just invites you to relax and take it slow.

[@HermannderCherusker1970]

Harsh cold winters sure produce beautiful people.

[@eltonsalvador7620]

I love the peace and quiet of the open nature and the beautiful snow of lapland

[@residentgeardo]

Conditions sure are very harsh during winter time up there. But man is this pink-blue sky beautiful. I could die for it. I always feel the same when being outside. You leave something of your daily sorrow behind.

[@StellMoorhouse]

You always capture the beauty of winter. Thank you.

[@PamFilstrup]

❤ Thank you for sharing the beauty that you live in! ❄️

[@wallacemiddleton6652]

Thank you SANNA. Great views, God bless

[@maikenmilter4381]

You just reminded me how much making my own things brings purpose to my life. I wish I had the time and guts to live life like you do.

[@maikenmilter4381]

And having no plans is just the best!

[@a8f235]

It's been around the same temperatures here as well lately, and I have a somewhat new Skoda stationwagon that also refuse to start when it gets very cold. So about -20C it starts to behave a little weird, and -25C and more it can just refuse to fire up. That's why I recommend getting a battery booster, and I was recommended getting a more powerful one than I really need for my car for dealing with starts in very cold temperatures. I only got a 2L diesel engine but my booster can deal with up to 6L diesel engines, so it takes care of business very good even in -30C. There's so much electronics in newer cars so if I cannot get a start after three tries, then so much of my battery has been used already that there's just no chance. This is why I carry with me the battery booster everytime I'm going out in the winter, because you never know when you really need it, as well as being able to help others as well if someone else may be stranded somewhere. I never leave it in the car, because I don't want that to get super cold as well because it is basically a battery as well, so it won't like freezing conditions.

[@hance2601]

Hei Sanna, I am very happy while watching this video, very beautiful in many ways. Warm Greetings from Central Finland

I stumbled across one of your beautiful videos the other day and I am hooked! I watch at least one every day. I love the warmth and serenity you project. Very comforting at this crazy time in our world. The sweater you knitted is beautiful! It really does embody the gorgeous landscapes around you. Your rye bread looks delicious. I’d love the recipe.

[@sannavaara]

[@Mike-bb1li]

Talk about a deep freeze! Thanks, very sweet.

[@antony1957]

thanks Sanna for this video: it remember me February 1998, when I was for the first time in Finland, with my colleagues and friends in Kemi. Peaceful and relaxing landcapes and atmosphere...

[@childofnature-norway]

So beautiful! The COLD came to the south of Norway too. We had the coldest winter of the last 10 years. And heavy snow ❄❄❄ Winter is so beautiful, I love it when it is like this 💚 Btw I love the wooly jumper, in the arms of winter ❄😍

[@nordic.van.adventures4928]

Oh yes we did. Got to be the coldest winter in years!!! But as they say, with a cold winter comes a good summer right🤪🤷🏻‍♀️❤️❤️

[@faery_realm]

Aww thank you Sanna. Beautiful video as always! We visited Finland (Inari) just after that very cold period. It was a mere -29C when we were there 😂 The pink skies and the blueness of the afternoons and evening were so very beautiful. I will never forget my time there xx

[@lyndapook168]

A beautiful video, thank you so much for braving the outdoors for us!! The jumper you knitted is amazing!

[@fayegormley9041]

Thank you , such a beautiful video, the winter scenery is stunning! I love the sweater you made, you are very talented. The bread looked delicious! ❤️ and greetings from a new subscriber from Cornwall, UK.

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much 🥰❤️

[@marccalis9444]

It's so cold that even the video has been frosen twice 😅. Thank you for sharing the beautiful place where you live. And the sweater you made for Esa is realy, realy great!

[@sannavaara]

Hahaha 😂 Maybe that was the reason!

[@murtazaarif6507]

I like your idea of 'Nowhere' as a place nowhere specific. This way as you say there are no expectations. So we stay in the present rather than becoming stuck in the past or develop future anxiety. I love the simple life.

[@sannavaara]

❤️

[@jinxie228]

Beautiful... it is currently 4°f here which is warmer than normal, usually it's -12°f this time of the year. Although we don't have the beautiful snow (well not very much) like you do. I wish we had more snow. Thanks for sharing with us. The bread looks amazing!

[@andreateichmann8648]

Sehr schönes Video und wunderschöne, unberührte Natur. Diese muss erhalten bleiben.

[@TheBoomfalleralla]

Thank you Sanna, that was beautiful 😊❤️

[@inadoart]

Thank you for showing us these dreamy landscapes. ♥️❄️ I could sit and watch the pink sky and the snow giants for hours. So calming and fascinating. ✨

[@sannavaara]

I do that, too. Just stare them 😍

[@SharonCullenArt]

That pink sky was amazing! I’m so thankful to have a garage where I live. Although this winter so far has been warmer, 4f or -16c here in Michigan USA. I remember those days without a garage and I would always try to park with the rear toward the wind to try to save just a bit of battery. But we also used something called a trickle charger to plug them in or if Diesel, there was a charger that kept the fuel warm enough so that it wouldn’t freeze.

[@dimitardimitrov9781]

You’re such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your work!

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much 🥰

[@Buk-nd2tw]

how wonderful to see all these lovely views of Finland. A big thanks from Italy.

[@sannavaara]

Thank you so much, and hello to Italy 🥰

[@photobobo]

@Sanna This morning in Minnesota the temperature was 7F/-14C. The coldest that we have had here in the south of the state is -22F/-30C. We have had a little snow, so today we have to start the big machine to clear the driveway. It is Diesel, so it doesn't like to work in these temperatures. Today, my other half has to learn how to work the machine as I am getting too old to climb into it. This will be a fun experience.

[@sannavaara]

They all become fun stories in the end ☺️

[@polyglot.basketer947]

Magic but tough. When you mentioned the "nowhere", I remembered this saying: For those who don't know where they are going, all roads lead there. What is not exactly the same what you ment with, but still.......I can see that you take winter difficulties with a certain optimism and smile. Tough but magic.❤

[@sannavaara]

Beautiful saying, thank you for sharing it 🥰

[@sohinipattiwellen6380]

Your videos are so meditative. Used to be that our winters on the Isolated Eastern End of Long Island were a as quiet... but not as cold!!! Now our population has grown so much... that it is too busy for my taste. I love your home and I strive for such a beautiful, simple and minimal feel in my home...

[@jenmorricone4014]

Same here in So. California. Used to be nice, now a noise ridden riot of traffic....with perfect weather.

[@sannavaara]

Thank you 🥰

[@meikkopeikko]

I was in Lapland last week, visiting family, and i miss it so much! Your videos are so lovely, another way to return to northern Finland for me ❤

[@bannol1]

Hi, Greetings from Australia. No snow down under, we are in the middle of a very wet summer. I love your videos. Where you live is beautiful and I like your home. Could you make a video how you keep your house warm and cozy during those very long and cold winter months please? I’d like to see more of your 200 year old masonry heater. Why is the left alcove black? Is that an open fireplace? How do you heat all your other rooms and your bathroom? I’d love to know.

[@sannavaara]

I will keep that in mind for my future videos 🥰

Hei, mitä kuuluu - thanks for this insight into northern Finland. I'm a Canadian now living on the Pacific coast, near Vancouver (mostly to avoid snow!!!) but when I lived in Toronto I studied Finnish simply out of curiosity, but also as part of a linguistics degree. Mastered the grammar but fell short of actually being able to talk freely. I love Finland so much and I love the language. I'm jealous of those who can speak it natively! Anyway, stay warm!
