At 2 o'clock in the night (local):
Quite cold now for a day in May.
Northernly draft. According to the radar and also watching
the sky in the west-northwest som shower clouds are approaching.
Probably soon starting to snow.
The full moon is shining in the south-southwest lying right down onto
the
mountain skyline there.
There was been no snow yesterday (Friday).
Temperature was max 9.3 to min 0.7C. 1 mm precipitation.


The clouds went just west of here.
So no snow in May so far.
I'm actually hoping for it to be white outside
when I get up! So that's how it is when
you have become a weather nut...

It is snowing (a bit) now - at noon. But no covering, and no
problems for cars here.
I was up at 8 o'clock and there was som few tiny areas of
snow lying so I haven't observed any white cover so far.
So I cannot really after my own terminology call this then
'snow in May.' Many a May have some snow flurries.
I would say 'snow in May' is an all white covering.observed.
But of course depending on your chosen terminology.
Temperature now is 2.1 C, max today sofar 6.9, min -1.0C.
At 8 o'clock it had not risen above 3.1C.


It have been snowing like hell here now at least the
last 15 minutes. It's almost all white here now.
The temperature went down to 1.4 C.
I also see on the net it has been big problems on the roads over
large areas of southern Norway today. Some accidents.

I am surprised to hear that it is causing big problems, I thought that the
Norwegians would be well used to coping with snow.

But this snow is out of season when it falls in May.
So everyone is on snow tires. And the ploughs and equipment and
the system is tucked away for the summer half of the year.
So a snowfall in May creates big consternation also in Norway,
southern part at least.
