Default [WR] Ørsta, Norway, new record minimum -19.6C

Very cold day today, here in West Norway, and all of southern Norway.
Max: 13.5, min -19.6C!
This is infact the lowest minimum temperature I can remember I
have seen in all the time I have had a digital thermometer at
my location Ørsta, 62.2 N, 6.2 E, 40 m asl..

I have written down recordings practically everyday (if not away)
since the start of 2001. (2001 tables unfortunately lost).
The minumum used to go to about -17/-17.5C
previously, but in the last 5 years at least, the minimum
hasn't gone under -12C.
Was leaning to the interpretation that this was an
effect of global warming.

So what is this then !? Even below the minima
in the 90s? Just an odd fluctuation....

Concerning the snow depth that was 94.5 cm on Monday
night has now shrunk to 70.5 cm, without any melting
whatsoever. Far below freezing all the time and no sun.

Ablating snow--I see a few of the Norwegian ski resorts have been
registering -29c.How on earth would you keep warm skiing in such cold!At
your latitude how much sunlight COULD you in theory collect at this time
of year?

Just should mention that the airport 4 km from here has recorded -26C today
or yesterday. Very cold indeed.
Big icicles forming from every municipal street light. I'm not shure if
I ever have seen that before? Sort of jumped to another state of
winter this year...
