I found this somewhere...
15°C:
It doesn’t get warmer than this in Finland, so let’s start here; the Spaniards put on their caps, winter coats and gloves. The Finns sunbathe.
10°C:
The French try in vain to start up the central heating in their houses. The Finns are planting flowers in their gardens.
5°C:
Italian cars refuse to start. The Finns are cruising in their cabs.
0°C:
Distilled water freezes. The water in Vanda river gets a little thicker…
-5°C:
People in California are getting frostbitten. The Finns are grilling the last hot dog before winter.
-10°C:
The English turn on the heating in their houses. The Finns put on a long-sleeved shirt.
-20°C:
The Australians flee Mallorca. The Finns stop celebrating midsummer, autumn has arrived.
-30°C:
People in Greece die because of the cold and disappear from the face of the earth. The Finns start hanging their laundry indoors to dry.
-40°C:
Paris crackles in the cold. The Finns are queing by the hot dog stand
-50°C:
The polar bears are evaquating the north pole. The Finnish army puts their winter survival course on hold while waiting for real winter weather.
-60°C:
Korvatunturi freezes. The Finns rent a film and stay inside.
-70°C:
The false Santa Claus moves south. The Finns get frustrated since they can’t store Kossu (Koskenkorva) outdoors. The Finnish army holds that winter survival course.
-183°C:
The microbes in the food don’t survive. The Finnish cows complain about the milkers’ hands are cold.
-273:
ALL atombased movement ceases. The Finns begin telling each other ”Perkele, it’s cold outside today.”
-300°C:
Hell freezes. The Finns win the Eurovision Song Contest.

@Northern Lights: That's great! I got an e-mail very similar to that for where I live (Pennsylvania, US). People start to wear shorts around here as soon as it gets into the 40's F. Great damn stuff.

I didn´t know that I live in a lake btw, there is a mistake, Jyväskylä isn´t really on that south.

i think it's "fuck", but i'm not sure, and it seems unlikely that writing it bigger will get you more replies. otherwise i'd have just found the perfect way to sell my writings.

i'm not sure either, but i think it's a name of some ancient god that became somehow a cursing word...or something like that, but probably i'm wrong

Perkele = devil. Word for the ugliest thing in the world for ancient Finns, so it was used as a swearing word.
