Fresh snow

We have had some major storms hitting northern Norway in the last few weeks. The snow that came with these storms came horizontal, so most of it blew straight into the sea. But in the last couple of days the winds died down and we had about 50 cm fresh snow. Finally, the old snow was getting very hard and icy. So this weekend we went skiing; nothing spectacular, but still very nice. Below a few photos from the last few weeks.

We hebben de laatste paar weken verschillende stormen gehad hier in noord Noorwegen. De sneeuw die met de stormen mee kwam is rechtstreeks de zee in geblazen, maar de afgelopen dagen was het kalmer en hebben zo'n 50 cm verse sneeuw gekregen. Eindelijk, de sneeuw en skicondities waren niet bepaald goed, maar nu is er poedersneeuw. Dit weekend zijn we dus gaan skien, niets spectaculairs, maar wel mooi. Hieronder een paar fotos van de afgelopen weken.

(Snow) storm 'Ole', strong enough to get a name

Nice snow covered trees

Deep snow, nice views
