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.

Yes I did hear the NRK P1 forecast last night (clear on MW here) and
was surprised to hear such a great mention of snø!

It was actually forecast for Northern Scotland if I remember correctly
on the Countryfile five day prognostication. If we get frosty nights I'd
say it was almost spot on.

Not that bad a forecast considering.

I remember working on a police radio mast in the hills of Wales some 20
plus years back and it snowed in June or late May. I don't remember nice
weather with it though.

Unless I'm seeing things, it's snowing right now in the Cairngorms!

I was fortunate enough to experience some snow in the Scottish mountains a
couple of weeks ago when I went up there...
