After several days of severe warnings and very little action, proper snow finally came this weekend! Ok, I know that some parts of the UK have had loads more than we have, but I can't help thinking there is a slight sense of drama going on... Many schools are closed, trains and flights are cancelled and people are forced to either take holidays to look after their children or try to work from home. At least let's hope the kids go out and play in the snow!
I spent a large part of my childhood in Norway and can't remember that school was ever shut even for a single day because of snow... However, I do remember there was talk of sending the children home once because it was too hot one summer...
☺
But since there are no winter tyres for the cars and many don't have proper winter clothing (amazing to see people walking to work in their wellies! - must be sooooo cold and slippery!) it is no wonder even a small amount of snow take people by surprise. The Cat has not been outside since Thursday evening when he spent the grand total of 2 minutes outside...
☺
I am enjoying this little show of snow. It makes everything look very pretty and clean. And I like the freshness in the air.
So, put on another layer of clothing and stay warm out there! I can see the daffodils and other spring flowers are already about 5-10cm above the ground so it will be spring soon enough!

Skjønner at du gleder deg over litt snø...vi har ikke noe, men har hatt det nydeligste kalde været de siste ukene. Skjønner at det blir problemer over hos deg når snøen kommer. Siden det ikke er vanlig med snø har en heller ikke utstyr til å takle det, hverken mennesker, hus eller biler. Vi hadde heller ikke utstyr til å takle de enorme mengdene med snø som kom hos oss på Jæren rett før jul. Alt det styret det blei og tre dager etterpå var snøen borte igjen....og mer får vi kanskje heller ikke før våren kommer. Vi pleier ikke få det.
ReplyDeleteNy snøen så lenge den varer.
Wow...er det vanlig? Så gøy..
ReplyDeleteTusen takk for koselig bursdagshilsen. Tenk 40 allerede, kjempe gøy.
Klem Fra en lykkelig fersk 40 åring.
Looking good :)
ReplyDeleteSå koselig, lyst, rent og pent!
Godt når den kommer - og godt når den forsvinner igjen..
Ha en skjønn aften :) Og godt nyttår!
Klem fra Tove
Blir sånt kaos i land som ikke er vant med snø, samme i Italia når det skjer her .....
ReplyDeleteFor 2 år siden ble jeg sittende værfast i London, skulle bare mellomlande der - for så å fly videre til Roma, men det tok 3 dager før reisen min endte, alt pga snø kaos på Heathrow...uff...
Du får nyte den lille snøen du fikk, den varer vel neppe lenge...hehe :)
I miss England.. it's almost almost spring there by now, you lucky things.. Just came across this randomly and have to add that when I lived in Scotland, we used to gather in the flat of one of my Norwegian friends to eat crisps and watch the hopeless driving in the roundabout below their bay window. Priceless.
