We already reserved the hotels....
Whats the winterconditions in the area? Is it like a real nordic winter(like Finland, Norway and Sweden)?
According to my info durin February there should be very low temperature. But maybe some latvian friends will tell us more info.
February should be the coldest month in western Latvia. However, you can see very variable weather in February there. Bit like in Rally Sweden. It can be around -30, but it can be +5 as well. Long term models tell that its should come colder winter than average.
Weather really should be very changeable. I have seen it on Valais this year. +28 on Thursday and snow calamity on Saturday evening...
How does Valais in October 2012 relate to Latvia in February 2013?
Only with notice, that weather could be very changeable.
That weather CAN be very changeable you mean? ;) The weather in Valais this year must've been an exception...
It was not exception, I remember two years ago it was similar, but in reverse order (snow during recce and much better weather during race). But I agree that we are little bit off topic as this is about Rally Liepāja-Ventspils :)
Rally directors Raimonds Strokšs todays tweet (@RaimondsStroksh) - "I am on my way to Czech Republic. Which one czech driver do we need on february in ERC? :) "
So... PLuto, Mirek - which one do we need? :D
