So, as I wrote in the previous post, the snow was a big surprise here in Arendal. There were forecasts saying about snowfalls over 200m, but not down to 0m, something which happened Wednesday 30/10 morning. Such unsuccessful forecasts are always acceptable! =)
Unfortunately, the snowfalls didn't last longer than 2-3 hours due to the temperature rise. When it started to snow, the intensity was quite low and the streets just became wet.
But the snowfall soon got stronger making the snow lay on the grass, on the trees, on the cars, on the roofs and on some streets.
I was looking sadly the brighter clouds towards the sea, worrying about whether the snow would stop or not...
The snow didn't stop, but the snowfall turned into showers and hail started also to fall.
At 12:30 the sun suddenly appeared and it was snowing at the same time. And the clouds, that revealed, were actually Cumulus clouds and when I looked the satellite picture I noticed, that Cumulonimbus clouds were coming from Southeast. One of those, out in the sea.
Except of the morning snowfall, some snowflakes appeared the same day at midnight, too. You can watch some of the snowfalls on the video below.
Many rain showers followed the rest of the day, but another big surprise was the big Cumulonimbus clouds with mamatus!
I hadn't the time to look for lightnings, but I'll get mad if there were none. But although I had no time for lightning observations in the afternoon, I saw a distant thunder at ~20:30 to South, in the sea.
So if the snow has come early in Norway, what about UK?
