Default [WR] It really DID snow last night/today! - Southern Norway


Yes, all the way down to 0 m a.s.l!
Maybe only 1-2 cm. But there are now still
small patches on the lawn in places. At 200 m
and above the field is almost all white.
It was still snowing at 12:30 p.m., but not settling.

In a valley I drove up to a higher pass to look at the weather
the road was not passable, because of too much snow, and I had to
turn back at about 260 m a.s.l.
This is the first time in maybe about 30 years I have
experienced something like this in mid/late May.
(There was an incident ~15 years back when I didn't live here.)

Btw, it seems to get worse the coming evening and night, so
I wonder how this will end?

Regards,
Bjørn Sørheim,
Norway at 62 deg. N, 40 m a.s.l.
