Dear Weather-God
We wish you a Happy New Year!
We don´t know you personally, even you are with us every day, through the whole year. It is said, that you really exist, that´s why we take contact here with you, hoping you have internet there as well.
We live on a big world and know that you cannot be everywhere and you certainly have a stressful job! Because we know that, we definitely don´t want to offend you!
But during whole December, we felt a bit forgotten by you.... could you now, after this long period, keep an eye also on North-Carelia? We wish us nothing more at the moment, than a bit more balanced weather conditions, or more exactly: more balanced winter-weather. You know... yesterday we got 5cm of fresh snow, today we got rain again. You remember, that normally we are influenced by the siberian cold weather and we love snow, ice and cold temperatures. If you would onz change the wind directions a bit, that would already help us, we think.
Our dogs (not seals) are frustrated, because they cannot work. Our guides are frustrated, because they cannot run the normal tours. Our guests are frustrated, because they do not find real winter here. Do you really want our start into 2014 with so much frustration? Don´t you think, that after this long patient waiting in December, we now deserve a little reward?
Yes, we know... special winters only to special people... but there are so many more special people around the world! Please, be kind and have an eye on our east corner of Finland. You can change our lives, if you want it!
Huge thanks to you and once more, Happy New Year!
Everybody from the Eräkeskus-Team
P.S. Of course we wish a Happy New Year also to all our friends, guests and partners!
