What they don't mention is the length of those seasons, which in Finland consist of winter, winter, winter and construction. Even in Helsinki snow can fall as early as September and as late as May.

It used to be like that, but that's no longer happening. Last winter, there was no snow in Helsinki at all :(

Although there was snow and ice as late as May, just around the time I'd planted my carrot-seeds, potatoes, etc.
Summer is short enough that there's basically only one growing season for food so that last minute cold-snap really ruined my planting plan!

Here in Minnesota, I’ve seen snow every month except August. We had 10 inches two weeks ago. On the other hand, it was 87 degrees on my porch yesterday.

That happens in Eastern Oregon too; and in most of the Great Basin.

What are you even talking about this is completely false.
It doesn't even snow anymore really.

Snowfall != permanent snow cover. Helsinki still gets snow, it just doesn't stick around as long as it used to.
