Winter makes a comeback

On Wednesday morning most media outlets had some coverage of the inclement weather. After a sunny Easter Monday, with temperatures hitting 17.7 degrees Celsius [63.8°F] in the capital city region, winter returned with a bang on Tuesday evening.

By Wednesday morning there was 10cm [~3.9 inches] of snow on the ground in southern regions, and newsrooms like that of Ostrobothnia-based Ilkka-Pohjalainen were dusting off their use of the word ‘takatalvi’ — a Finnish term used to describe the recurrence of winter conditions during spring.
