Hello again

Is presently trying too put something together on temperatures, but it hasn’t gone that well yet. Is like tons off data and a needle’s eye to put it out on.



We are located in the warmer regions her in Norway. Also some off those that actually have daylight in the winter. We will at the darkest have seven hours off sun if not clouded, witch would bee no big surprise.



The outdoor pond has just 2” ice at the moment and snow fill at present 2-5”. All in all just as predicted. Its at them moment melting all around, this evening its just around -2°C.

In this part of Norway we have the last 2 weeks been down at –16° and up at +7°C. We have had snow that at its best was over 20” and bare ground toped off with some rainfalls off biblical proportions. Just hours in length but man how the flow everything when there’s frost in the ground.



This is for us quit normal. If we travel just a hour further north things changes dramatically and given another hour. It has been stabile temperatures below –5°C for quit some time now. There we find snow starting to get nice “Aspen” style and they are not bothered with this untimely role coaster temperature. In fact we welcome some snow its nothing worse than going bellow 0°C with out it.

Normal winter problem her in Norway is broken water pipes. To avoid freezing they are never any higher than 1.6 m down I the ground. In our local setting, main at 2.8m and at highest 2.2m before entering in under houses. Last winter with our normal lack off snow (isolation) two off our neighbours got it. They had both forgotten the basis trickle principal. Its like when bellow –20° and no snow please don’t turn off the water (completely) after using it….





Well if somebody is reading this please comment or ask we will skip in from time to time and see if there is anything that you all what to know about us or our country.
