Puoli kuuta peipposesta - Half a month to summer from chaffinch
Värriön ilmastoaseman "virallinen" lumilukema on 59 cm, eikä pälviä näy vielä missään. Päiväkausia jatkunut lämmin ilmavirtaus toi tänään ensimmäisen peipon (koiras) tutkimusaseman pihalle. Tämä peippo ei kuitenkaan suostunut vielä laulamaan.
The "official" snow depth in Varrio is 59 cm, and all is still white in the Nature reserve. Warm southern wind has now prevailed for days and the wind brought the first finch (Common chaffinch, Frincilla coelebs) to the yard of Varrio station. This was male, but it was not yet ready to sing. - The old Finnish saying tells that there is Half a month from chaffinch - to summer.
