Ticks with encephalitis is about the worst thing mother nature throws at us. In same areas you should look out for moose while driving. This is one of the safest places to live on the planet.)

Helsinki isn't that dissimilar to Calgary in that regard. But we both get winter. Are you prepared for an ice storm, a huge dump of snow, or extended period of extremely cold weather? All of those things can disrupt the electrical grid and could be pretty bad if you're not prepared at all.
