We had massive, record-breaking snowfall in Stavanger this week. I haven’t seen snow like this since 2004 so it was quite a treat! We haven’t done any Norway posts for awhile so I thought it would be fun to share some pictures I took while running errands after the snowstorm.
Our street just before 9am. The advantage to not having a car is now apparent: no shoveling for us.
The bus got stuck and these guys were still digging it out half an hour later. Then all the school kids had to push it to get us going. I thought that should have at least earned them the day off.
So if you’ve seen any of my Stavanger posts from earlier this year, you’ll notice the difference. It’s often rainy and overcast, but snow isn’t common here. Not like this anyway. We got 55 centimeters in 24 hours, adding to the 15 cms that had already fallen during the preceding days.
I wasn’t fast enough with the camera to keep these guys from being blurry (caught them from the bus), but they were too cute not to include anyway!
Personally, I’ll take snow over rain any day. Do you get heavy snow where you live? Do you enjoy it?
