Lappmögel?!

Can't you Amercans keep your hurricanes for yourself??!! It has been blowing and raining for several days over here in W Sweden.

 

[KaffiMann]

Not sure, could probably be some kind of fungus. Weird that it's covering the gravel and asphalt though.... Curiouser and curiouser...

 

[gpauk]

First dust of snow of the season at ground level today...

 

[KaffiMann]

What?!

Pictures, or it didn't happen!
All I got is this weird growth of some kind.

 

[Schmitz77]

I thought its always raining in norway and now you'll tell us its snowing?
No snow in germoney, but tomorrow its coming..we're ready to fight against it.

 

[soundbrigade]

But didn't your German ancesters go for a long ski vacation to Norway in 1940??!!

Ooops!

The hard winds stopped as did the rain but ....Here we go again!!!!


(Btw, I get it that we are a bit odd over here in Europe as it is mandatory to swap to winter tyres in the winter.)

Do you mean Eastern Europeans? Each time I look up the wind cyclones over Atlantic Ocean, it moves from east to west.

the snow has gone again here, sunny outside.

Because we are in the California belt of Canada, we have only certain roads where snowies are mandatory. This is Oct 1 to Mar 30. If you're caught without, the police will ticket you and turn you around. In Metro Vancouver they are not mandatory.
This is part of the reason:

Personally no. Nobody of my families ancestors was in Norway involved in WW2. I plan to do a holiday by car trip to the Nordkap for first time. Maybe after all the Covid thing has ended next year. But it shouldn't be too cold because of camping. Great country!

 

[KaffiMann]

Great country!

Overpriced, backwards, cold, high taxes, and absolutely wonderful! Would not want to live anywhere else!

I've heard that Anni-Frid Lyngstad's father was.

Don't mention the war ...
I am watching World War Two, a Youtube channel and I am stunned how much we don't know about the war, and how much we were supposed to "know" - especially who the good guys and the bad guys were.

Today, still above zero but the firmament and its nice light blue colour can be seen perfectly and finally the 30 mile wide luminescent sun disc is passing some 300 miles above us ... it can't be better .

 

[shortwave]

Looking for Comet Atlas with some very steady and transparent seeing conditions in Northern Lower Mi. 47 F and just a trace of wind at 0430 hrs.

I watched The 12th Man which is said to be fact-based World War II drama. It does show who the good and bad guys were.

 

[KaffiMann]

-9c now.

 

[cogitech]

11C here, with 60km/h winds, gusting to 80km/h. The tarp has been ripped off my travel trailer and the snow has been vaporized.

 

[Cal Weldon]

It's about 37º in my underwear. Does that count or should I stop posting after Friday night beer?

 

[TheGimp]

Cal, is that C or F? We are looking at 37F (6C) as a high next Tuesday. Someone in NOTB is apparently going to leave the freezer door open. Low is supposed to be near 20F (-7C).
