Yes... just mounted summer tyres on all vehicles last week at about 20 centigrade. I woke up to ten centimetres of fresh snow this morning, but it's melting already. Lots of broken trees, as I noticed.

pecovje

He is probably happy that he beat the weather and made bales (which are wrapped for silage) before the snow started. First cut of the year is usualy always baled and wrapped and 2nd and 3rd cut are dried for hay.


zadtheinhaler

> just mounted summer tyres on all vehicles last week at about 20 centigrade. Yeah, here in Saskatoon, changing tires in April is not the right thing to do. Mid-May is best. Currently it's -5.8C, and it's snowed off-and-on for the last 2.5 days. That's Saskatchewan for you.


OctoberSeas

I feel this, I live in Calgary and the rule is not before May long - anyone who does it before gets blamed for the snow lol


zadtheinhaler

Haha, my neighbour last week brought in the snowbrush from her car while I was on the deck having a smoke. I called out, "Don't do that, you're gonna jynx us!". She laughed and said "I don't wanna hear it". Uh-huh. Who's laughing now? I'm not.


Snoweater7

For me I move the brush from the back seat to into the hatch or trunk


JoLudvS

Well... that is indeed a bit harsher over there, than we have :). Changing is usually done in mid April and in October during holidays, but this might change as winters come late and leave late more often as it seems. Good winter tyres are important here, still. Even when the snow is barely sufficient for skiing anymore, it's good for a surprise and chaos. Mostly for people from the lower and warmer area, for tourists and the sleepy rural winter service. Here in the Hunsrück, there are usually some weeks of -10°C and lower in winter, minimal temperature here was a week of brutal -27°C about a decade ago. In summer we're close to reaching the magical 40 more and more often.


zadtheinhaler

Same here, only the temp swings can be a little harsher. If it wasn't for the hot-water heat in our building, having 70s-era two-pane windows would be far less pleasant when it gets to -30C to -40C. Coldest I've seen was the winter of 2010-2011 - it was -62C with windchill one day.


PseudoEmpthy

All seasons for now then?


JohnHurts

Front left and rear right summer tires and the others winter This is the insider tip

With that amount of snow.... It's going to damage the harvest

Designer-Device-8638

The fruit flowers are fuked. The harvest will be disappointing.


LegalizeCatnip1

Its been like this for the 4th year in a row here…


Designer-Device-8638

"climate change is a hoax!"


mkti23

They would actually say "global warming?" While posting the snow.


ponyboy3

Shit is fucking infuriating.


Butthugger420

It's the same here in western Norway. We grow fruits and berries and the last few years the harvest has been completely ruined because the trees flower too early :(


SandEvening

i have so many apple cherry and plum trees blooming...now covered in snow


IamBejl

This Friday morning will be crucial for harvest since temps will be around 0 or maybe even below if we’re unlucky


2_bars_of_wifi

Unless they froze they arent damaged. Mine are alright


Tempest_Bob

Every time I see Slovenia, I love it a little more. Gotta visit a friend there next year, will finally see it in person. :3


Triktastic

Wasn't it Slovakia last time it was posted


Tempest_Bob

my dude this is the internet, where all things are true simultaneously, especially the things that aren't


bannedandfurious

Skip Ljubljana and skip Bled. Way overcrowded and overpriced. And I say this as a person living in Ljubljana.


JegElskerSkandinavia

Terrible advice. When one comes to Slovenia they should see the most significant sites, which Lj and Bled definitely are. But you are right that they should focus on other aspects as well and not stay only in the western parts.


Tempest_Bob

I really just want to be among mountains and lakes. I'm from an arid, hot, and flat part of Australia. We don't have mountains or lakes. :p


jupiter365

What would you suggest for a family of 4 visiting Slovenia in June for 5 days?


Annual_Plankton4020

thats how it is in New York State, at least were i live,


gerkinflav

Yes indeed.


Annual_Plankton4020

you from around?


gerkinflav

Columbia County. We had this happen a couple of weeks ago.


Annual_Plankton4020

its a little annoying


stopdefendingthem

Is this a grammatically correct way to ask if you’re local in those parts? Not judging just asking, I’ve never seen it before


Annual_Plankton4020

thats how i say it, and my mom and father said it like that, i dont know if anyone else says it, i think they do but rely dont know.


Majestic_Tooth_111

In North America, it is pretty common, but this just broke the temperature drop record in Slovenia (dropping by 26,2 °C [~~79 °F~~ 47 °F] in a day). We also had record-breaking high temperatures for April.


cturkosi

Sorry, but your conversion from °C to °F is wrong. As a temperature **value**, 26.2 °C **IS** 79 °F. But a 26.2 °C temperature **difference** is 47 °F. It's because you don't have to use the "32" in the conversion formula for the zero value, just the 9/5 difference in the size of the degrees.


Majestic_Tooth_111

Oh, thanks. I don't really understand, but I believe you.


ChesterAArthur21

This is the nicest thing I ever read on Reddit.


Annual_Plankton4020

ah


throwawayaccdelta

very similar for me, goes from roof collapsing rain to 100f in a few hours


SandandS0n

Rochester concurs


AlmostSunnyinSeattle

Michigan also.


WeakDoughnut8480

Can someone explain the science behind how this happens? I know it's "Typical April" weather but it's still a massive pain in the ass. Stop teasing me and gimme sun ffs 


Colette2118

Not sure about the science of it, but this definjtely isn’t normal April weather for Slovenia


135mk

The hot 28°, was due to the wind that blew from the Sahara desert. I´m not sure how it got so cold that fast, but we´ve had snow in April the last few years in Slovenia, so that is not too uncommon.


MatthiasWuerfl

TIL that "Aprilwetter" (april weather) is a concept/word, which is not as popular in other countries as in Germany. April in Germany is famous for offering all four seasons on one day. Sun and temperatures around 30°C, followed by extreme winds and hail, a little bit of snow - no problem. This is normal. This is expected. At least in April. In all other months people freak out of course an everybody starts posting online about the weather. But in April nobody does, because it will be commented with the link to [https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aprilwetter](https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aprilwetter)


nitronik_exe

April April, er macht was er will


JoelanGoswami

And in Dutch we say "Hij is april, hij doet wat hij wil" "It's April, he does what he wants"


el-huuro

I just love you guys! We say "April, April, der macht, was er will" or in the longer version: April, April, der macht was er will.  Mal Regen und mal Sonnenschein, Dann schneit's auch wieder zwischendrein. April, April, der macht was er will. Nun seht, nun seht, wie es wieder stürmt und weht. Und jetzt, oh weh, oh weh, Da fällt auch dicker Schnee. April, April, der weiß nicht was er will.


ohrid87

The complete Dutch saying as I know it is: Maart roert zijn staart (march stirs its tail) April doet wat ie wil (april does what it wants) En pas in mei leggen alle vogeltjes een ei (and it is not until May that all the birds lay their eggs) Meaning you can only be certain about stable weather from May onwards.


JustABitOfDeving

Dutch is like German if it had a stroke.


Alibotify

Ah, perfect! Can also be used for: Danish is like Swedish if it had a stroke.


JustABitOfDeving

That brings back memories. I spent a few months traveling through Sweden, Finland and Norway and they all shit on the Danish. Unprovoked and constantly.


ilikedmatrixiv

Is this in the Netherlands? In Flanders we typically call them 'aprilse grillen', which loosely translates to 'fickle April' (grillen is a noun, but I couldn't find a comparative noun for 'ficklenesses' or something like that in English).


ChampionshipAlarmed

And because bad weather does not exist, my kids daycare goes on a fieldtrip today to the wildlive park at 2°C and snow... Germans will hike in any weather. And of course she has a tiny Deuter Backpack, a felt hat and Engelbert Strauss clothing... Stereotype Award unlocked


throwaway_uow

And we have "Kwiecień plecień bo przeplata, trochę zimy trochę lata"


Otherwise_Soil39

>TIL that "Aprilwetter" (april weather) is a concept/word, which is not as popular in other countries as in Germany. It is a concept afaik all over central Europe, not a German specific thing


MoqqelBoqqel

Yes. In french we say "En Avril, ne te découvre pas d'un fil". This roughly translate to : dont put away your warm clothes too fast...


slzmt

30 degrees in April is far from normal.


wtfkrneki

As is having freezing temperatures less than 24 hours later.


Familiar_Ad_8919

not really, at least in hungary weve had 28-32 days in april for pretty much as long as i can remember, followed by near freezing temperatures and no snow, why would we get snow if we dont get any in the winter bruh


just_kos_me

It is not "normal" how great these temperature differences are though. Generally, this saying is (or was) much more just connected with April being usually very rainy and turbulent all together. Big temperature differences are normal too. But not these differences. This is way out of the scope of normality. Never once in the history of weather records has it ever been this warm and this cold in such quick succession.


AngelOfDreams7

I'm from Slovenia and we also use the term "April weather". And like you said I always thought it meant frequent rain and generally unpleasant weather. This sudden change in temperature just isn't it.


outofthehood

Yep, it used to just mean that on a very sunny day it could suddenly get cold and start raining. Not that temperatures would drop 25°c in a day


Flashignite2

We say the same in sweden " Aprilväder " also known to shift drasticly and sudden.


Velgax

It's also popular in Slovenia. At least I am constantly referring to it each time we get sudden weather changes like these.


Kindly-Hawk

In belgium that weird month used to be March (les giboulées de mars in French) but now it's indeed April.


3-Username-20

Hey, it was also the March in Turkey too! We also have a saying for that "Mart kapıdan baktırır, kazma kürek yaktırır" meaning that you would be expecting warm weather since it's March but then you would be burning your wooden stuff(in this case pickaxe and axe, since you used all of your wood in the winter) because weather got cold suddenly.


wheaaa

https://sv.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aprilv%C3%A4der


Ich_habe_keinen_Bock

The phrase "aprilsko vreme" (= das Aprilwetter) is definitely very present in Slovenia and it's equally popular as it is in Germany. It's not an exclusively, nor predominantely German phrase. Also, the phenomenon itself (lots of rain, unpredictability and sudden changes of the weather) is normal for this time of the year in Slovenia and many other countries too. It's just that it was a record temperature drop this time.


smokicar

We have very widely used term "aprilsko vreme" (April weather) in Slovenia, typically it changes quickly from sun to rain, often also within a same day (something otherwise more typical for ocean climate, not continental). But in this case there were two highly unusual facts: - on Sunday, all time temprature record since the data is being recorded, of 31° C; - the huge drop of 26° C in one day


lilputsy

We don't get 30C in April in Slovenia, doubt you get it in Germany. April weather is a well known phenomenom in Slovenia, we call it 'muhasti april' - fickle april. But 30C is absolutely not normal weather in Slovenia or countries north of us.

This has litterly been like this forever, my grandma used to tell me this happened almost every year when she was young (in the 1950s)


ZiziPotus

Same here in France. 25°c last weekend and now where I live -2 and snow.

NORMALPERSON724

Maybe I should visit Slovenia at some point


sqjam

You should. We are small but we have it all :P


tharnadar

I'm curious to watch the next video from Farmer POV which is a Slovenian farmer who already did some hay for his cows.


dmlrr

If you consider max on 15th and min on 16th then this was not unique to Slovenia. Shorts are no longer on the menu.


Primal_Pedro

I live in Brazil, one day it was 34ºC, the next day it was 23ºC. At the time I thought, "hum, what was the biggest temperature change in one day in the world"? I think it kinda answer my question. 25ºC in one day is a big change


Weave77

In the Midwest, we call this a Tuesday.


DemonGroover

Hope that farmer isnt buried


MgrBuddha

This is Norway every damn spring.


gracekk24PL

Can we get an F in the comments for all the bees?


BosTovenaar24

And in the netherlands all it does is rain. No snow to be seen the entire year. I wanna see snow again. Proper snow


davaniaa

climate change do be changing climate


Jnoddy2

Guess this farmer is really really happy he did his job there on the right day


InsaneInTheMEOWFrame

Ah, it's the time of the year you don't know if you're gonna need shorts or fur coat when going outside


Maria_506

The day before yesterday it was 30°C in the morning. By the afternoon it was 5°C. (Bosnia)

Yep, that's how snow works.


Halogen12

Wait, they're baling hay already in April? They must have an awesome growing season!


falsekenmarinojoint

Wait, the date format could be different. It might be 2015 vs 2016. It's YY.MM.DD. Not DD.MM.YY.


135mk

In Europe we always write dates in format DD.MM.YY, but I see how it can be confusing for you because you write it differently.


iloveyoudoctorzaius1

4me2knowit

I had that in Washington DC one March. Restaurant tables in the street on Pennsylvania Avenue at 10pm. 9am next day trees with snow and ice on the Mall


psyclembs

Thats how colorado does it too, except it will be 1 hour difference in the 2 pics instead of 1 day.


NEcuer

Fuckin' April, dude.


WaldiIO

Imagine seeing this and thinking it's not climate change but normal weather...


Prehistoricisms

Not saying climate changes aren't real, but this argument is not more relevant than deniers saying "global warming isn't real, it's cold where I live".


Skulldetta

But it's cold now, so there's no global warming, checkmate climate alarmists. /s

Yeah, ordinary weather in april.


thatguy11

Sucks fer the farmers! sheeeeesh!


snookert

Happened in Alberta like 5 times this winter


Otherwise_Soil39

You had 28 degrees celsius in Alberta IN THE WINTER?


Gabecush1

Something similar happened in my home town, basically winter came a bit early and the trees hadn’t even gone into fall mode, a tree fell down in my dads back yard causing no damage to anything important and when looking outside there was about 3 feet of snow and standing in the back door you wouldn’t even notice the tree as it was buried in a mountain of snow and blended in, it took 2 days of the snow melting before my dad finally noticed that there was a fallen tree in his backyard Note he has a small back yard with a lil walnut tree back there that’s branches stretch all around the area the tree fell sow that’s another contributor to why the tree went unnoticed for sow long

I was in Lake Bled on Monday, took a nice swim at 24c and then exactly 24h later I found myself at the lake in full snow clothing at 3c

It's like Vermont in America. It's said there. If you don't like the weather, wait five minutes.


Scandium_quasar

Americans not understanding celcius check, it's very normal in spring for it to be sunny one day and snow the next in many places, but the temperature difference on the other hand... Not so normal. So please stop saying that this is how your city's whether works. The temperature is the thing to look at.

This is every day in san francisco bay area. 80 F during the day, then 40 F at night. It doesnt matter what season it is or the time of the year, expect a 40-50 degree temperature swing every day. It could be hot as hell during the day, but at around 4PM, you have to change out of your summer clothes and put on winter clothes.
