Like our "Spring Forward" or "Spring Ahead" and "Fall Behind," the way a lot of people remember it up here is that during the winter, you put your outdoor furniture back into storage, so during the winter, you move the clock back. In the Spring, you bring your furniture forward, so you move the clock forward. We find this a little more confusing than it's worth, but if it helps the Finns, we're all for it.

Daylight Savings Time
So we heard that the US is Springing Ahead this weekend, and that y'all will now be only 6 hours behind us. We just wanted to let you know that we'll be catching up at the end of the month; in Finland, Summer Time begins on March 29th, and we'll be moving our clocks ahead one hour too. We're super excited about it staying light out until late again, since when we first got here, the sun set around 3:30.
