Signs of winter

Even though the weather has remained unusually warm for this time of the year the annual signs for winter are still on the horizon. On the coming weekend the daylight saving time is once again ending meaning there will be a bit more light in the mornings, but the evening darkness will also come an hour earlier.

Another sign of closing winter is the speed limits which will be changing to the winter limits starting next week. The limits will be lowered by 20km/h for the highest limits (120km/h and 100km/h) on most roads to address the coming icy conditions.

It's also time to change the tires to winter tires. Technically they should be changed before November, but there are some freedom on that depending on the actual weather.

The only thing still missing is the sub-zero temperatures which usually are common at least during the nights around this time of the year. But at least the forecast isn't yet promising anything like that in the coming days.
