I just want you all to know: I live in Norway, and can confirm we've had the warmest winter in like, ever, here this season. these pictures are showing a mountain pass that ALWAYS gets covered in shitloads of snow, on account of it being about 4500 feet above sea level. The other parts, where people actually LIVE, are bare because of the warm weather we've had these last months.
I second this. I haven't even run a full tank of gas through my snowblower so far this "winter". Lots more snow in the local slopes here than last year, though. So it's not all bad.
True! There is a lot of precipitation in Norway, especially along the coast and over the fjords. In the winter it lands as snow in the high mountains and if it's cold enough, as snow also in the lowlands. However, in the last couple of decades, more and more lands as rain in the low lands, even in mid winter. Around here in south western Norway, it's been raining for a couple of weeks now, but it has been snowing for a day or so. We got like 4 - 5 cm now, it's nothing.
In Yorkshire (UK) this morning we have about 2cm of snow and almost every single fucking school is closed in my city (over 90). I cycled to work, got here at 8.30 - it's now 9.45 and i'm still the only one in the office. People are really useless hehe!
