All March there was no snow here (ok, I was away for one
week, so can't ay for shure then).
When Easter started we then actually got 40 cm of snow,
which went away in a forthnight.
This morning it was actually snowing again!!
Probably ten years in between snowing this late in
spring.
Mind you, in 2004 it was actually snowing the 21st of May!
That is very unusual!

The max level of snow was between 5-10 cm earlier today,
now a bit of thaw, but still a good snowcover.
Min temp today 0.7 C max 4.0 C.
The coming week is going to much warmer it seems, that
is - the first part of it. Lasr part seems cold.
Maybe we can reach 20C?, so far this year not over 15C,
so quite low max tempertures, but gererally a quite mild winter
with little snow.

Here is a couple of newspaper articles on todays snowfall:

It is a google translation so some humor and contradiction was involved
but basically it is about the chaos that has occurred in the Bakken
Hovde as a result of a large heavy snowfall that occurred after the
public services had wound down their winter preparedness and drivers had
switched to summer tyres.

Google Translated quotes.

Snow and slippery roads have led to the cars have driven off the road,
and several are fixed.

He characterizes the stretch Hovdebygda - ?rsta as very poor and advises
motorists to drive from there.

Fortunately, the police received help from staff at ?rsta - Volda
Airport. The rumor out with their snow vehicles.

The heavy snowfall Saturday morning came at a time when the vast
majority had been changed to summer tires, and have watched enough lead
that it would come such snow for the last week of mildvêr and sun.

Thanks Alan!
I did get most of that content.
The location of most of the troubles was in 'Hovdebakken', btw.

I can more or less read it - without Google Translate. But it's surely in
Norwegian, isn't it ? I don't quite understand why you can't read it
yourself.

That is very easy to explain.
The local newspaper in my hometown is actually the first norwegian
newspaper on the net that requires payment to read the articles!
One can read 5 articles from a computer for free, that is all. After
that no more...
It was actually also the last norwegian newspaper to leave the 'offset'
format and change to the 'tabloid' format. This was after it was bought
up by a newspaper chain. It was also one of the last (the last?) norwegian
newspaper to go on the net. When it finally went on the net one is required
to pay
for it. Talking about being backwards and ackward!! And you
have to pay full price even if you are a subscriber to the paper version.
I really hope they go bankrupt - seriously!

Concernig weather:
8 cm snow lying at midnight. 54 mm precipitation today! Now 1.6C,
Max today 4.0 C, min 0.7 C.

Unless he's a bit dawlish.

What brought you out of hibernation Bjorn?
