Hey, it's winter time!

I can't believe my eyes. In the most wet and rainy city on the West Coast of Norway, the snow didn't melt at all after almost 2 months of  lying on the streets and mountains surrounding Bergen! "The oldest Norwegians" don't remember such a phenomenon! (Similar weather was much more common in 70's and 80's).

Since December it was only a couple of days with temperature slightly above zero Celsius. It has been snowing many times. The rest of Norway looks the same, covered with white powder. Natives are more than happy to go skiing on regular basis, it is after all their national sport.

Well, shame on you, global warming (false) prophets! ;)
