Hi all, I assume this is the right place to put this (Im new around here!)

As I said in the snow thread, it has been pelting down rain here in Oslo, with fairly strong winds and a bit of sleet ... the worst is yet to come.

Thought it would be nice to have a look at the size of this system ... it is pretty bloody big with feederbands across most of Norway!

its going to get very windy again next 48 hrs!
