Easter with snowstorms in Northern Europe!

Katholic Easter has fallen early this year and the weather in Northern Europe is not like spring at all.
It was a white Easter today for Scandinavia, UK, Germany and many other countries in Europe. The snow amount in Southern Norway, specifically, was over 80cm and it is still snowing, contrary to Oslo, were the weather is better now. Many electricity cuts have also been reported in Norway after the harsh snowstorms.
The temperature is also very low all over Scandinavia and it will be down to -15-20oC in many areas in Northern Norway. The temperature in Oslo yesterday morning was -11,7oC the lowest since 19 December.
The snowfalls will continue in Northern Europe for some days this week, but the weather will get warmer and sunnier by the end of the month.
