First real snow of the season fell this morning. Got woken up by the municipal snow blower trying to clear the paths. Tried to take a video on the phone but it was too dark.
Now we'll see how good the shoes are in the snow. Weren't much good on ice. Will probably have to get some spikes. As I'm drinking my tea in the kitchen I notice that the snow is falling. The temperature gauge on the window is indicating minus 1 degC.
Hopefully hear today about the apartment and they'll say yes.
Despite the locals being warned that snow was imminent there was still chaos on the roads this morning. Just outside the office a truck had got stuck on the hill. It happened just by the pedestrian crossing so I'm guessing the Norwegian habit of just walking out without looking may have caused the truck to stop after which it couldn't get going again on a hill start.
Wore a vest for the first time ths morning hoping it'd help with the cold. Unfortunately all it did was cause me to get dehydrated. The office is warm enough to walk around in a thin shirt so a vest is not needed during the day. What I need is a system which can be removed after arriving.
Morteza turned up today. He's going to help out hopefully. He's an ex captain. I wasn't told he was arriving this morning. Not happy with the upset to my schedule to be honest. I was expecting to deal with Dag's last week and now I have got Morteza to deal with as well. Didn't get anywhere near the level of work done I expected.
The snow kept falling through the day. I eventually took the vest off in the afternoon.
Now the clocks have gone back an hour it is lighter in the morning but is dark in the evening instead.
After work I went into town and bought a new jacket. Hopefully it'll be warmer than what I have at the moment.
Got back to the apartment and felt rubbish. Had a few sandwiches and then sat around feeling bored before going to bed.
