21/02 -41,7 Celsius (in Finland!)

We just received a mail by our old volcano friend Ahti Heikkilä from Finland (do you remember his Zafferana photos?).

He wrote:

“Hello Davide,
How are You? I hope very well!
So, we have a winter like in old time!!! Today it was in the morning minus 41,7 grader Celsius and snow about 50 – 60 cm and tomorrow it is coming a very bad storm, hevy wind, minus 20 Celsius and more snow about 20 cm !!!!!!!!!
BUT THE BIGGEST NEWS IS THAT MY DAUGHTER KATRI GOT A BOY 🙂 ”

Welcome to out little new friend from Finland and best wishes to him and his family!

About Etna we had a very warm week with very strong Sirocco wind.

Due to wind yesterday, this night and this morning seemed perfect days to make a jump and land in Greece (paragliding a bit…). We are sorry but it seems it will be fourth Sunday in which it will be impossible to ski but even just to breath, outside. We hope in March.
