Aaaanyway, I really liked this 3 minute film - it makes Norway look rather nice, I think

Mostly recorded in the area around Kristiansund, Molde, and Åndalsnes, looks like.

Seven inches of snow, so far, and still snowing.
No Bob's bbq tonight, sorry.

Had 3” of snow when I got up to get ready for work Monday morning. By the time I left the house it was down to an inch or so.

There was still snow in the shaded areas until yesterday.

Today it nearly hit 60.

All the pretty snow on the foothills and much of what was on the mountains is gone.

Not good. We need more snowpack in the mountains to keep the Evergreen state green all summer.

What are you doing with Harry Potter's camera?

I dunno, a wingspan equal to a football field seems a bit excessive.

But what do I know?

I am but a lowly wing structures mechanic.

And once they have used the NASA budget for R&D, guess what is coming. A plane bigger than a B52 that can land and take off from a carrier, and after takeoff deploys the big wings by unfolding from the little ones used for takeoff, and when landing folds them up again so as to not foul on the tall office block on the right when landing. Might be a challenge. There were a few F1-11s that landed on non-prepared sites in Vietnam because foldable wings fell off.

But yeah, that's another reason to stay off those skis.

Speaking of Bert. The news this morning said some towns in Scotland have banned buskers (they like to give themselves the Orwellian title of 'street musicians') because of public nuisance because some of them are use AMPLIFIED bagpipes. And that in Scotland.

Yep, it's a different time zone, alright

To be fair, though, that dude ain't Norwegian, he just lives here - and is married to the girl - who admittedly is Norwegian.

Of course! Well, at least I can point you in the right direction

My surroundings aren't quite as spectacular. Although... This guy seems to fancy my city. There are even some clips showing our little island in there

It will take 10 minutes of you time, though.

Good morning everyone!
Nine inches now, and they say maybe 3 to 4 more today.

It's chest high on a Labrador Retriever.
