♫♪ Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.... ♪

Today it snowed. All day. A lot!
More than a half meter. Maybe one. And that is a lot for a day, even in Norway!

Yesterday it didn't snow at all. Actually - yesterday it felt almost like spring. The sun shone bright and yellow and you could walk directly on the pavement (instead of walking on snow).

But today spring became winter. Again.

Today the snow caused that I had to stay out for two hours, shovelling. In the beginning of the day the snow lay on the roof of our house. In earlier years, the snow used to just continue lieing there - peaceful - on the roof. But during last summer we put up a new roof. The new roof is very slippery. The result is this: All the snow slides down from the roof. Down on our verandaes.

Because snow is so heavy (especially if it later starts to rain - which there is a positive possibility for here in North Norway), we decided to go out and clear away all the snow from the verandaes.

And we did.

There was a lot of snow! One and a half meter maybe. Because all the snow that fell on the roof was consentrated on the veranda.

It took time.
And my muscles still hurt.

A two hours workout of strenght and endurance.

Praise to God that I'll still stay fit :)
