Tromsø departure – Tromsø arrival
On 11 October I took the plane from Tromsø to Bergen and then to Aberdeen for a holiday in Scotland with my wife Annika. In Tromsø it has rained the night before but in higher altitudes the rain had come as snow. I could see the mountain Tromsdalstinden (1238 m) after departure and before we were swallowed by the thick layer of clouds. It was covered with a thin layer of snow.
Then we had a great time in Scotland. And we didn’t had any snow at all. (More to be told later.)
Yesterday I flew back and arrived in Tromsø at 10 o’clock in the evening. Round the airport there was some snow and slush but where I live there was more snow. More than I expected.
Today I measured 28 cm of snow on the roof of the car (or 11 Scottish inches), but now it is warmer and the snow has started to melt. While the birch trees are leafless, other trees are still leafy and now let their colourful leaves fall onto the snow.
Today I took a day off and will use some of the time to browse through the Scotland photos. But before that I will clear the snow on my parking place to avoid afternoon’s rain.
