Given the choice I’d take sunrise in Bora Bora.

Honestly, the weather can be super depressing (snow 8 months a year) - but its also deeply intriguing with all the different light phenomena, the northern lights, no sun season, midnight sun, and the polar nights in general. Right now its 1130 in the evening, and this is the view outdoors
I have a dream of skiing in the midnight sun. This year it might be possible.

never been to Bora Bora but 105 at night and 7% humidity on the lake is very beautiful
7% humidity sounds like a plan! If I had to pick a US lake it’d be Lake Tahoe, I can handle the snow if I don’t have to shovel it, BTDT for more than enough years.
that looks like Wisconsin some years but not this year Im old enough that I want to leave that to the
I like the crispness, the clear view and the color. This time of year in the Poconos, we are in our gray period - gray sky, gray rock, barren trees. Even going out in the woods offers no reprieve. Still a couple of weeks before we see leaves and get some color and blue skies.
I want to go back to this…
I’m on the sun rising coast and love the line from the song I Hope You Dance:
“I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean”
It’s a great way to start the day and adjust your perspective.
I’m in Ohio, so no coasts here. Well that big lake up north, but that water is freaking cold. The Indian Ocean is much warmer!

Lake Michigan is never warm ! Wisconsin isn’t a swimming place 
I worked for a company in NJ that was circling the drain and was considering going to work for someone I dealt with in the Chicago area, went to visit in October and had a very nice time, GREAT city! Had to reconsider when I was talking with him one day and the forecast HIGH for the day was 11 below. Just couldn’t do that to myself.

quiet you don’t scare away the newbies to soon let them learn the hard way 
I think the official colorado uniform is a hoodie and shorts. We get big, wet snow storms in april, and then the next day (sometimes the same day) is 70 and it is gone again. That’s here on the front range. The weather is totally different in the high country or out on the plains.

and a different again on the “Western Slope” where the mountains meet the canyons. ~25*C sunny and CALM in Durango today. I’m wearing shorts and a polo. 8^)
Calm is the key difference today…been blowing ~30 knots every day for weeks it seems. That’s typical for spring here though.
No snow left on the ground here, but I can see snow capped peaks (~15 miles away) out my window.
I know Durango sometimes feels like another state, but is it also another country? 
Well, it is @turbinbjorn’s thread 
Also, because I work at the airport a lot of the time, I often check the weather reported by the airports ASOS (Automated Surface Observation System) which provides temperature and dewpoint in Celsius, wind in Knots, visibility in Statute Miles, etc.
It’s a pretty mixed up system but I’m used to it.
Totally offtopic but - you might have issues with Swedish language but I assume you can click this video and see how much snow there is in these parts of Sweden.
The wilderness road will be open by June 6
At some areas they have 4.5meters of snow to go thru…and it is ~960 km south of Tromsö :)(15 hour drive)

Waking up to all these notifications, I assumed Ryan had relased the parts 
I enjoy hearing about the weather in different parts of the world, here we are in the some crowd, playing and working with our tools/toys - but outdoors, things are wiiildly different.
I’ve always thought Colorado is somewhat similar to the nordics in terms of weather and geography?
