Sleet weather in Tromsø
Last night I was woken up my a crackling noise. I peeked out of my front door – everything was white. It was however not snowing but sleeting heavily and the ground was covered with zillions of small snow pellets.
This morning more sleet showers crossed Tromsø. I took a short promenade to the coast where the beaches where covered with snow pellets as well.
I would have loved to take the car to Kvaløya to places where it actually was cold enough for real and dry snow but my car still has summer tyres. I’m even not sure if I can make it to the appointment for tire change in two days or if the streets are too slippery to get there.
So I did not get real winter snow today but at least I spotted the first snowman. Or should I write snow pellet man?
Later the day sleet turned into wet snow with the result, that the streets are covered now with 5 cm of wet slush.
