Seems summer has finally gone... the first sure signs that winter has arrived here in Lietuva... the first snow, need to change tyres on the car and the City puts the heating on so got to open the windows to let it out

Indeed, we even saw the first snow on the southern edge of the Grampians on the way home from Cambus O May on Sunday. Very exciting!

Getting my snowboard serviced as we speak. Its going to be a HUGE winter this season!

Global Warming is just propaganda!

Anybody know how the snow in Norway's doing? Thinking of going XC skiing at Lillehammer at the end of November.

Snowed here in the south of Norway on Saturday.

There was 20cm in Beitostoelen last week, a picture of a young girl XC skiing there adorned the front page of the national newspaper Aftenposten.

Here is a webcam of Hafjell (next to Lillehammer)...seems like it's snowing! Or the snow cannons are working at least!

Sjusoen (very good XC area that links up with Lillehammer) on the other side of the hill has skiing conditions already too.

...Pyrat, heard there that 2ft of powder fell on the White Lady last night... but it had blown away by this morning. :lol:

Cheers - forgot to look at Hafjell - looks good there. I've looked at the Sjusjoen site (which is where I'm actually thinking of going - there or Nordseter), but unfortunately all the useful info is in Norwegian only - the English version is dumbed down with no snow conditions info (and after 5 or 6 trips I still only speak a couple of words of Norwegian :oops:

).

what are you all on about??

It's 15 degrees C here in London, still too hot to wear my suit jacket!

Yeh I was out running in shorts and t shirt this morning. Mind you I was wearing my big ass coat when i went to a lecture this afternoon. Its just bloody windy in Durham

Aye, winter's here alright. It's been below -10 all day here (-11 as I write), the snow still lying thick after Friday night's fall. It's not even the start of November yet but the skiing tracks and downhill slopes are open. Might just manage a wee circuit this evening if I'm lucky.

Maybe I spoke too soon. :oops:

I had to de-ice the car windscreen this morning.

Now that's one thing I never need to do.... brush snow off yes... but de-ice... no:) No moisture in air = no ice on car

(minus 8 yesterday & not a slither of ice)

Yep, went iced-over puddle jumping on my run this morning

Definitly feels like winter in Wales

by **helen** » Thu Nov 02, 2006 5:26 pm

yeah its been really cold today - feels like I'm back in Iceland! Was out there on a school trip last week and we had the first snow of the season, proper white-out, blizzard conditions on one day!
