I headed to the Tromsø football game yesterday against the hated Rosenburg club from Trondheim. They are like the New York Yankees of Norwegian football. The game was great, ending in a 1-1 tie, but the most shocking part was the weather: snow! Just when you thought it was safe to live above the Arctic Circle, you get snow...on May 14th! I am looking out the window right now as flurries* fall, somehow simultaneous with the sun shining. Not sure how it works, I just know that I'm staying inside.**
*Editor's note: I had to edit the blog because what was flurries are now near blizzard-like snow. What is going on?!
**Second Editor's Note: This picture was taken at 12.30am. Yes, the midnight sun (and snow?) is nearly upon us!

5:00 PMI seem to remember some snow falling in Decorah on May 1 last year. I promptly rode my bike through it.- Silje said...
