...Snow, Snow

Will it ever end?

Apparently Stavanger experienced the coldest January in 102 year and the most consecutive days with snow since they started recording it in 1952. What happened to global warning?

But actually it might be our fault. When we moved to Aberdeen in January 2001, they also had the worst winter, with snow on the ground for weeks (again not usual since Aberdeen like Stavanger is on the sea) and the first winter in China Beijing had a lot of snow; very cold winter they were used to but snow not so much. Maybe we should have moved to Vancouver… I’ve heard they are having a lack of snow for the Olympics!!!

But let’s stay optimistic; there is a Norwegian saying that goes like this: Hvis skaran bærer en voksen mann på sankthansdagen, da blir det sen vår. "If the snow's crust can carry a grown man on June 24, then spring will be late.”

Tough Winter?!
