Now that the winter is almost over (be patient:)), how did it feel? What methods did you find to cope? Was it what you expected?

My second winter in Finland. It was cold (obviously). Got lucky with the apartment that was booked for me by my employer as it had sauna :) which felt sooo good after being outdoors in the cold.
