Winter in Oslo

It is some years now since we had a snowy Winter in downtown Oslo, Capital of Norway.
We are used to snowy Winters, but you know, it allways takes some time to clean all Streets and Metro and Train Lines after a Heavy Snowfall.
And there are still people trying to drive, that should have stayed at home;)), or taking the Bus to their respective jobs.

Here are some impressions from last weekend. (We were indoor with the Cats)

It did start Snowing. Slowly. It was all white grey. And Silent.

The Snow was light. But, you see it covered up.

We did stay indoor. Waiting for the Pathways and Roads to be cleaned from Snow.
(Some litters to get rid of - you know)

We did not serve Dinner outside last Sunday. You might have a clue why that would have been a stupid idea?

Instead, enjoyed it inside. Potatoes, Carrots, Parsley, red Pepper (Paprika), chilipepper, Bechamel Sauce and Fish Pudding. (No Curry this Sunday, as we do not mix chilipepper and curry). The best beverage is fresh water to this meal.

After Dinner, in the dark, we watched some lightning points outside. See the icicle on the Street Lights?

Look at this: Tuesday. Clear, Blue Winter Sky, and Sun shining on the Hills just North of down Town Oslo. The closest Hills, as you see here, raises to about 560 meters ( around 1750 feet) about Sea Level. Which is Oslo Harbour. You can take the Metro almost to the Top. And up there you can perform every kind of wintersports, even walk on you own feet and have excellent meals.

Photo something: Gross

Weekend February 3-4, 2007

Mrs. Lifecruiser today posted a picture under the Theme: Gross, in the Blogroll Photo Scavenger Hunt.

Naïv as I am, I hardly understand what this is all about, but it seems like someone or anybody can post a photo on their blog under a certain Theme. The only thing I understood was that Gross can mean a lots (sic!). So this is my unofficial debut. Please bear over with me. If not, this will be for the last time. Do you hear me? I have tried very hard to explain what each photo have to do with Gross. I gross my fingers, you'll understand.

Too gross to enter

A Gross rotary snow cutter saved us in the Mountains. Keep the distance or be grossed up.

The Holy Gross
