It snowed a bit here too. Grr....

Didn't the heat I dispatched arrive yet?

Nope Not snowing now though

Snow is gone.

Snow is so scarce in our country that people get very excited when it falls in their towns or on their farms, and take numerous photos.

It is more frequent in the mountain areas.

Snow is still plenty here. Please feel free to collect it, Enviro! According to a short newspaper article some years ago there were some Brazilians that came to Norway to experience snow, but were disappointed when they found how cold it was!

Of course it was cold. What did they expect?

Beats me! It amazes me that it wasn't self evident to them. It's not like it snows in hot temperatures, so it's just wow.

Know what? I have a suspicion that fire might be hot

Really? But of course! It burns after all!

Snow is usually cold, after all.

Unless it was snowing heavily, it would be easier if gravity wouldn't work on it, so the roads didn't get icy or the snow too high. It would also help if the snow was well behaved and laid itself nicely down on the lawns etc and not on streets, roads and pavements.

I did exactly the same thing. I've only seen snow once in my life, when I went on a student exchange trip to Japan in high school. I knew snow was cold, but still I wasn't prepared for just how cold it was. When I saw it for the very first time, I sat near the window and just stared at it, entranced. My host family thought it was funny.

But it wasn't until a few days later when I went on my first ski trip that I was surrounded by it in the open air. Snow was all around on the ground and I tried lying in it, because it reminded me of sand on the beach – just really white. Again, I knew that it would be cold, but I really wasn't expecting it to be that cold. I couldn't even make a snowball, let alone a snowman – the snow was so cold. After that I was so disappointed that I didn't really do much in the snow other than ski. Still, it was a nice way to spend my one and only white Christmas.

lol that's why we use mittens or gloves

^ Yeah, I tried doing that too. But my fingers were so constricted by the gloves that my "snowball" ended up looking like a dense cloud, and it broke apart quickly when I threw it. The one other Aussie who went on the trip with me at least managed to make a snowball – and hit me with it. All I could do was chase him, and try not to fall over into the snow.

Good job getting rid of that spam!

They're very persistent.

So are mosquitoes.
