That is sad reading but in the article they link to a fun weather service. It works for abroad cities and places as well. Check it out here: http://pent.no/

Its been a great winter though, the first winter in many years that haven’t been rain-snow-rain-snow-rain-snow every second day.

Heres the two last winter-movies I’m uploading (I hope)

Awesome. :)

Once again we travelled with the sport school to Kvamskogen to ski. As usual the kids were looking forward to spend the night at the hut we use to rent. Lovely weather and ski conditions – a great weekend. 29 kids and 7 adults and everything went smoothly, except for a few cars that wouldn’t start. :)

Sunday morning, a lot of snow has fallen.

A break at the cafeteria, lunch and hot chocolate.

Our way home was snowy, we had to drive carefully.

This is where I did such last time:

I think many believes that taking a 10 minute break like that would ruin the time-schedule and plans but all in all no one will notice – the others are too busy with their own time-schedule.

I call it investment because I feel much fresher and happier after a break like that and I perform better. I have to admit that I prefer summers up there but this has its charm as well.

Finn is a company in Norway who also creates street views and one day they met. Check this out:

I was walking an evening and went down to our local beach, it was peaceful and quiet – except for the calming sounds of the ocean. Ok, I look forward to the summer now. :)

Whenever I hear the word Olympics I think of it as a drug-event. Where “athletes” compete in finding the best drug that won’t be detected. But most fail and today 30 of the “athletes” has been denied start because of too high bloodvalues.

I pity the sponsors, after a broadcast we hear “this was brought to you by….” McDonalds for instance. Do the owners of Mc Donalds have stocks in the pharmacy production or are they simply believing that the Olympics is a healthy sport-event? I think that is a bit naive.

Oh well.. Happy needle-weeks! Eh I mean Olympics!

The irony is that Vancouver also struggles with other drugs: BBC
