Another 20cm of now fell overnight with temperatures around -9c:-

More photos to follow later.


An interesting week ahead as after the intense cold, a change to variable conditions is likely this week. Mild weather is likely from Tuesday night and through until Thursday morning. Mostly dry but temperatures rising above freezing (the first for a while) with 3-4c likely 😞. Luckily, a scandi trough looks like delivering some substantial snow from Thursday night and right through Friday, Saturday and Sunday.


One to watch.... as if this verifies, we could be looking at over a metre of snow falling in a couple of days.

Hard to say at this stage but from past experience, if the pattern develops as per GFS, I'd say 100+cm between Friday and Sunday a.m.

Cheers Nick. It really feels extreme when temperatures get that low. My hands are cracked to shreds and can be used as sand paper :-D

After the intense Christmas cold, attentions now switch to heavy snowfalls. This winter, thus far, has not delivered the 'big one' - the type of snowfalls which push in on a potent WNW'ly flow and to which can often bring anything from 100-150cm of snowfall inside 24-36 hrs. Instead, the snow depth has quietly been creeping up owing to a succession of light snowfalls in relatively stable winter conditions.


^^^^^^^Just taken this from your link , 150cm in such a small period of time...............mental ^^^^^^^^^^


What does it take to bring that place to a standstill ??

Cheers Marcus 😃 Yes, IF we get the scandi troughing as being modelled atm, then we could potentially exceed 100-150cm in one go. Tbh, I have never experienced Bjorli coming to a standstill.... never. Life goes on. Schools open, shops etc. Train will run and people get on with it.

Cheers Nick. Lol.... my hands were always cracked here but it is a pleasurable pain, lol 😃 All fine here, as I hope it is at your end. Enjoying the Christmas break and looking forward for the New year (though no parties for me, just relaxation).

Great pictures Mike, is it just coincidence but when I typed in Bjorli, the first option on my spell checker was Bovril laughing


Keep warm and well.

If we got anything like that the country would grind to a halt.

Hi Mike


I bet you're watching the low on Thursday with interest. It deepens rapidly and is still deepening when it passes right over central Norway on it's way into the Baltic.
There is a swathe of very strong winds on it's S and SW flank. Conditions could be horrendous for a while up in the mountains.
