I dunno anything about that at the moment. It's still up in the air. We're going together, coming back together.

They have this awesome open market on main town square where they sell all kinds of awesome food, like cheese, bacon, sausages, honey etc. :edmetal:

Today's weather has been bonkers. There was an area of low pressure moving over the north of Scotland during the night and the winds were absolutely horrific when I woke up at about 7am. When I went out I saw someone's fence wrecked and at about 9am the entire rail network in Scotland was closed. Down in Norfolk thousands of people have been evacuated because of a storm surge which could cause devastating flooding.

It's been four seasons in one day. Gale force winds, torrential rain, a bit of snow, and even a bit of sunshine at one point.

It's like living in Nova Scotia!
 
Untypical day weather-wise here in Norway. At Aukra, where I'm staying for work this week, we had snow today, and when I walked back from the site to the barracks after work it was completely calm and a few degrees below freezing. In other words, a really nice winter evening.

Meanwhile, further south the weather is awful. A lot of wind (closing down airports), with rain and snow. Also in the southeast, where - as I said the other day - the weather is usually calmer, drier and generally nicer.
 
I think we've had the same weather as the south of Norway today. It's not coming across through your gas pipeline, is it?
 
I think the pressure inside that pipeline can hardly be called a "low pressure", so no. Plus the gas flows in the opposite direction. But it's very likely that your bad weather is the same that has coused some trouble down south.

By the way - the locals here at Aukra are finding it hilarious that the Oslo newspapers are making headlines out of this weather. Even though I come from, and live in, the Southeast, I have to side with them on this. After all, here they see this kind of weather several times every year.
 
The southern part of Norway, at least.

Currently watching a TV debate about school in Norway and different reasons why our schools are not doing better in the PISA tests (and also about what the test results actually tell us). The program host asked the following question: "We have only been discussing the system and the teachers so far. Should we expect more from the pupils/students"? My answer to that is a definite YES. The attitude which says "it's the school's job to teach me mathematics, not my job to learn it" seems to be far too common. If some do badly at an exam, they seem to think the problems should have been simpler, not that they haven't prepared well enough themselves.

Today's youth ... :innocent:
 
Your last sentence is correct but that totally depends on the school. Exam results vary so darn much, the school I'm in is usually ranked 3-5 of the schools in my country.
