I live in Norway. Here is what was in the news today!
The winter just arrived, with a half a meter of snow. It snowed several
places in the mountains in eastern Norway, although it is still only
August.
"This was totally unexpected," says Anne Wangen to Nettavisen.
She is a hostess at Juvasshytta at the foot of Galdhøpiggen in Norway,
and said she woke up to a lot of snow outside the tourist cabin Sunday
morning.
"There have been large amounts of snow, between 40 and 50 centimeters,"
says Wangen. It is many years since there has been snow so early in
Juvasshytta, located 1840 meters above sea level.
"It has happened that there has been so much snow in August, but it is
many years since the last time. It is not normal anyway, and there was
no indication of a time," says Wangen.
"Were you surprised by the snowfall?"
"Yes, we were the more so. We were on tour with 300 guests in
Galdhøpiggen," she said.
