The blizzards of yesterday have given way to periods of heavy snow today and despite milder air filtering across later today, temperatures will still hover around freezing. Good news: more and potentially heavy snow again likely through this coming week

From this morning:

As a bonus, I took a bit of night footage of the snow:

Note: At around 0:20s, I did a quick U-turn and back tracked. Reason: Some girls saw me through their window and it could have looked like I was a perv.... and so I legged it

Nice pictures, I can only dream of seeing snow like that over here.

Question. Why have those cars got the window wipers sticking out?

Is it possibly so they can find their cars after the snow?

Great set of photos !!

Since your last stay in Norway I have copied the windscreen wiper thing . Looks silly but does stop them sticking and then loosing the rubber.

keep the photos coming

Great photos once again.
Re: the video. Did you not wait in case the young ladies invited you in for a nice cup of cocoa?

A bit more than a dusting, then.  

I was tempted but they are still there as guests in a cabin... not too late

Good idea Paul.... the rubber is easily damaged on the wipers and with the prices over here, it is always best to save on wear and tear

PPPPFFFTTTTTTTT Give me snizzle and non snow events any day 

thanks 🙂 makes sense

Cheers Mike - Fantastic set of photos. Looks like a very nice place to live - The houses all look nice and substantial.

As for the snow - that is just an amazing amount.

Mike - what is your height above sea level there .

 Can do summer photos too.

Gavin: 600m asl.

A few more from this afternoon:-

Been snowing heavily again and continues to throw it down.

Cheers Mike - thanks. That's an amazing amount of snow you get for being only 600m asl. I suppose the geographical  latitude helps a lot when one looks at where you are.

If you'd asked me to guess your altitude I would have guessed about 1,500. So I would have been well out.

Great set of pics Mike

Indeed Gavin. I actually think our altitude is perfect. High enough for the snow from the W; NW is just awesome for really heavy snow - such is the alignment of the valley - which also serves to give us shelter from any mild muck from the SW. Our height means we can also benefit from inversions when the warmer 850s cross over. Best of both! Of course, sometimes we will get some rain but by in large, it isn't heavy and it isn't long before the temperatures gets the right side of zero. Talking of mild, I am expecting the temperatures to creep to 1-2c for a few hrs this evening as those warm 850s cross our way. It is the warm front bring the current snow this afternoon.

Cheers Marcus

Cheers for that

In short, I just packed my bags and went to live in a village in Norway with nothing - back in 1999. No job, language, contacts or much money. The rest is history

Pah!, it was just like that here this morning... then I woke up

Excellent pictures as always Mike, I hope you and your family are keeping well in those conditions.

All the best to all of you.
