Tales of Home [4]

That's right. Late February or early March. It was just before I got off in Vardø and hitchhiked south. (That was F***ing Cold! My camera froze!)

Oh the year. That was 12 or 13 years ago I think.

wow, awesome guess *bro fist*

i find it so funny that you've been here like ages ago

Ah, ok.  

It was only that we were talking of Michael Palin travelling through just those parts the other day, but that was in the early 90s I think.

It's here for anyone who's interested. He travels from the North Pole across Svalbard to Tromsø. And then takes the Hurtigrute north and travels across Finmark to Finland.

12 years ago is ages ago.   He was still probably more than twice your current age.

erm... what? it's ages ago because it's almost my entire life.... .. . ... ...........

I hate young people

When you're immortal, it seems like the blink of an eye.... 

badumm tss.. good one.

So we finallly got some proper snow. Though I missed it falling.

Hopefully it'll stay for a while, and then maybe I'll stop going on about it.   

Nought but grey miserable cold rain here  

Where I am its dry with lots of sunshine, seems odd for middle of December ? at least its not raining though, Have not had to put the heating on that often,

It's snowing for real here and, most importantly, it's actually layering!

Spoiler:

Oh, nice to hear that Eldo.

Petty; I know what you mean. It's been like that here for the last couple of weeks. And you do live in the way  of a lot of weather systems. There are certain areas on the south west coast of Norway that almost never get snow just for that reason.

Here's the difference a bit of snow makes: (Yesterday and today)

cant stand snow, cant understand people who love it, its White Death. Give me heat, give me Sunshine, give me warmth, give me t-shirt weather any day.

It's pretty and it's fun to play in.

I enjoy warm weather too. That's the beauty of the seasons.

yey for you, you got snow!!

Thanks Norc! We went sledding too. I'm at my dad's so I didn't have my stuff, but I was able to borrow some snow gear. It's snowing in the city too and the Ravens are playing at home, so the playing field was completely covered in snow.

oooh sweet ^^

Glad to hear you got to get out and about in it Eldo.  

If one only had the time. It doesn't look like it's staying here all that long either.  

I did at least get to walk home through it.  

to keep this healthy jealousy alive minus 12 degrees today

It turned to sleet last night regular than rain, so when I woke up today it's still white outside. Though I'm not looking forward to driving home in this. At least they had already salted most of the highways.

salt on the roads

Don't you guys do that? Sometimes they use sand instead.

the thing is, if it absolutely must be cold, it's all rather pointless unless it snows. You see?
