Hey, Sawtroll - Cold up there yet??

Any of you guys ever wonder where SawTroll lives, and why he doesns't need a BIG saw? Hint - note the position of the ARCTIC CIRCLE

Hi Niko.

I did not realize just how far north you actually are. I'm getting cold looking at the map. I presume heated handles are standard equipment?

Stay warm.

Vince

No wonder that I like heated handles, huh......

Actually, we have the Gulf stream here, so the winter is not here yet, but it has been on a few visits ( below zero celsius degrees) so I have changed the wheels of the trusty Volvo to studded ones. :biggrinbounce2:

The G and W on my newer saws indicate heated handles.......

I'm willing to wager that Troll lives the farthest from the equator of anyone on AS!

69 degrees, 39 minutes...

I'm sure Troll will correct me if I'm even the tiniest bit wrong

For reference, Prudhoe bay AK is 70d 22 and there aren't any trees up there!
Nome is tropical at 64d 50....

I don't know the degrees and minutes, but I am not in the city of Tromsø, but in Troms county, close to Bardufoss airport SE of Tromsø.

uh oh... that makes you a bit south at Latitude / Longitude: 69.06,18.54

Hey, there are trees there!

Yes, thats he right place.

There are lots of trees, but most of them are less than 20" at the stump.

Our cabin and woodlot are one hour away , in a community called Lavangen, which roughly means "fiord of leaf-trees" - promising name, huh.....

looks promising to me!!!

Nope, Ultra.

It is a very nice place to be in.
The cabin is about 2.5 km inland, from the bottom of the fiord....

Looks a fine place indeed.
just needs an internet connection, and then it will be ideal :hmm3grin2orange: :hmm3grin2orange:
welcome back, Niko.

It is close to two hours away, even if I disregard the speed limits, which I usually do........opcorn:

Yes, but he might miss it, our place isn't at that picture at all, I believe....:help:

This tread is fun, Lakeside.
