Last weekend we had a warm-up--it was as high as 4 or 5 degrees C above zero, so we had a lot of melting. Problem is, since there are no storm-water sewers in Tromsø, the melting water runs in the streets--so with the snow and ice already built up on the roads, the added water just turned to a glaze of ice. Needless to say, we didn't go anywhere last weekend. Monday the temps went back below zero, and we got about a foot of snow, which we were actually glad to see. The trees looked frosted, as the snow fell in large flakes and just settled on the limbs of the trees. It wasn't so great for drivers because of the ice still on the road underneath. After the snow and the ice on the ground have a chance to meld then it is better. The walking conditions were much improved. We walked down to a small market near here on Tuesday evening and saw a shimmer of the Northern Lights.
