This seems to be a very left wing forum. I am more of a centrist than a right winger and am liberal on social issues such as gay rights and abortion rights and on environmental issues, I seem to be one of the farthest right people on here.

Could be that people who engage in discussions about weather and climate must be knowledgeable about these topics and therefore probably educated and well educated people tend to be more to the left.

Just wait 5 minutes and mildväder will post a youtube link to "Hitler - the greatest story never told".

Meanwhile, president Kekkonen in Minnesota 1961. I don't think these kinds of pictures would be very PC today:

Both locations are totally ridiculous. Wonder what station that Kuusamo is. Airport probably.

Kuusamo Ruka ski centre at 500 m ASL is quite crazy too for a cold lover: Climatologie de l'année 2016 à KUUSAMO RUKATUNTURI - Infoclimat

But look at those inversions and winter lows! Kiutaköngäs at 165 m: http://www.infoclimat.fr/climatologi...urs/02811.html

i'm impressed pötsönvaara's only is at 63N. while the absolut minimas may be lower in interior norway, i can almost guarantee you there's no location in either norway or sweden that has a stable winter temperatures. e.g östersund, +350masl

None at that latitude in Finland either. Vaasa at the other side of the latitude had 59 ice days.

Just the locations of the forum members skews the data: England and Scandinavia are both Liberal locations or areas with high populations of Liberals.

Anyway, this is my result:

I would probably require a more comprehensive test to produce something more feasible.

I've taken that Political Compass a million times & don't feel like doing so again, and it's easy enough to simply edit the URL... and I remember the last few times I've taken it, my result has been in this general vicinity:
