Winter in Finland - 4

 My wife Mirja and I traveled to Finland last month. We continue our series.

A rainy, snowy mix Monday morning. We set out at 6:00 a.m. for Helsinki for an 11:15 flight to Lapland. This weather would shut down Atlanta for a week. Here, we just got in the car and drove.

Through town and onto the highway. Slushy and slippery. We sped along in the dark and I swore we'd slide off the road sooner or later, at a hundred kilometers per hour, with one lane good, the other ice.

Finnish law...
