I dunno, last week it was sunny with 20+ degrees celsius weather, and today, it's snowing like nobodies business, at least up here in the wild north of England (though scotland's had it worse!!)... :o

It's already a couple of inches thick in places here, and it's still falling, the weather has just gone from one extreme to the other in the past week.... ::)

A pic out the front of our house from a couple of hours ago:

And I took this picture just now, those are the phonelines for us and our neighbours, that snow is sticky stuff if it's staying attached to them, goodness knows what it's doing to the power lines (well, we know it's causing power dips cos the lights keep dipping and the TV keeps cutting in and out!!) in the background there (the 5 parallel overhead cables).... :o

A week ago it was the warmest March on record.

Now it's 4+ inches of snow in Aberdeen and Inverness areas.

We could have hosted the summer Olympics before the winter Olympics and at much the same time.

That's the weather we had a week ago in Maritime Canada. Don't worry, it, too shall pass!

We've had the same kind of weather here in SW Ontario too. Super warm March - 20+ degrees for a couple weeks. Now it's cooler again, but not snowing, thank goodness.

England's a place I really want to visit someday, despite the weather.  ;D

If you want real weather, visit Scotland, "The weather in Scotland means you have just worn the wrong clothes that day..."

"now this should take five minutes, where's me screwdriver went now..?"

Not always like this, -2 this morning, and a max of 6 deg C yesterday, but the weather is nice in the southern part of Norway.

The weather report this morning here in South Florida was the same as always, sunny & hot!!
Almost 90 degrees every day! Always green. Very boring!

All of Northerners feel so sorry for you, Harry! What a crying shame it is that your weather has been so bad. :D

Well, yesterday's snow is melting away now, so it's a sloppy mess out there, and the guttering out the front is coming loose (well, more loose than it was!!!), so I'm just waiting for that to fall off and tear the TV aerial and satellite dish off the wall... ::)

The landlord hasn't exactly been bothered about looking after the house they own, there's so much that is getting more expensive for them to fix, but it's their loss... :D

Depends on the humidity though, last year the humidity on some of the hotter days back when we were in Lancashire was pretty low, so 25+ degree heat (In modern simplified english, or "celsius"!!! :D ) was pretty comfortable, but 20 degrees with high humidity was unbearable, and it was the same in the winter, temperatures below -10 and low humidity, absolutely not a problem, I went for a few walks in that, but -1 and high humidity, too darned cold for me!!! :o

Gotta love humidity eh? :D

And speaking of winter, the snow's all but gone here, just the piles from stuff scraped off cars and what fell off roofs (some complete with guttering for some unlucky people) remaining, it's gone as fast as it came... :D

No, This is the view from our family's cabin, not far from Lyngør.   http://tinyurl.com/c62wwv7

The cabin is a little oldfashion with the facilities in the shed  ;D but a nice place for recreation.

You are welcome to Norway, many fine places, long distances, bad roads, expensive, and not you cant trust the weather.  (I want move!)
