Unrelated to that link, snow can turn into ice before it melts completely away. The more hardpacked the snow is (more walked on), the faster it becomes ice on a mild day.
Ice is perhaps also a reason why you often see people in Norway looking down at the ground instead of around/straight ahead, which some other cultures/countries sometimes might think of as unfriendly.
it's a shame that the norwegian christmas remained almost without snow this year! Hopefully, nexe year will be like 2009 and 2010, which had a lot of snow and cold tempratures.
@ShittyGarfunk I know. I was thankful just for the fact that the ground still looked white; then it snowed again On new year's day :) Had one snow fall for an entire day after that, and nothing ever since. According to the forecast now, it's about to change...there's snow for the rest of the week...supposedly.
@Zemfira25 But on the other hand... be careful what you wish for.. With temperatures reaching down to - 30 degrees C or more it can be really painfull, expecially for your face. One does not have to stay out for long before it feels like it is melting off.
Tip for walking on ice if you dont already do it: Shift your weight too your heels, it might feel like you will fall over more easy that way, but when you get it right you will dance on ice! Also be glad you didnt experience the last two winters with long periods of -30-40 degrees celsius, the cold is not as awesome when it feels like your face is burning everytime you go outside :P
@spielmitmir0 I'm going to try that, thank you! And yes, I do consider myself VERY lucky to have not had been here during your two past winters...it's so strange how it's shifting to extremes; now it's so mild, even for me!
I'm the type of person who cracks up when they fall too... except for when it hurts and then that just sucks. D: But yeah... I totally crack up when I fall. XD
I fell last about a year ago really badly because of the ice, I literally twisted my whole leg under my torso. Sounds weird but that's the position I landed in. It hurt so bad and actually my ankle and knee still hurt every now and then if I walk a lot... :S Oh joy. <3 This year I walk like an old lady every where when it's icy, really really slowly. It looks ridiculous, but I haven't fallen this year. lol
@Hnzuu Oh my goodness...I just pictured that! I walk like an old lady too, and even so, I don't think I'm even close to safe. My friends and family kind of make fun of me, but I really don't care...I'm scared, shoot!!
Sí que es horrible el hielo, yo acá llevo como una semana que tengo que cruzar la calle y usar la acera de enfrente (o caminar por la calle) porque se había formado hielo por todos lados pero como el sol no da directamente sobre este lado, el hielo nunca se deshizo y es feo estarse resbalando a cada ratito. Por suerte muy pocas caídas he tenido en todos estos años, pero sí muchos sustos jej.
I'm norwegian, and i'm more annoyed by ice than snow, as long as the snow is less than 30-50cm (roughly 1-2 feet).
A tip for practicing to drive on slippery roads is to put something like a paper-cup or a waterbottle on the top of your dashboard. This is because it will move or fall if you drive too "hard" (the amount of G-forces). On a regular snowy / icy road, you have roughly the same traction as the bottle has on the dashboard, so if it falls over, you would be drifting or in a ditch :P
@gulllars Thanks for the tips!! You're right about the drifting and the ditches...I've already seen that a lot here :/ You are seriously one of the few people I've heard complain about it. Now I hear complaints because a lot of people have ended up with broken bones and concussions. I find it extremely odd.
