The first snow of the new season has arrived

Pics taken north of Norway, in Lakselv and Alta area, up in the mountains and as seen from the road. Not much but still

It's looking good guys but probably a bit early to hope for proper sledding conditions just yet. In resent years the snow has been coming later and later in the year. I hope this winter will be very snowy!

I'll send some over there as well

Does that mean "Hurray, hurray, hurray" in Norwegian? I used to be able to call my grandmother, but she's no longer with us :-(

Vakker is BEAUTIFUL

Ahhhhhhh, thank you!

I am 50% Norwegian/ 50% German. Both sets of my grandparents came right from Europe and settled in South Dakota to farm. My grandma was named Alma Rikansrud and she would speak Norwegian to us all the time and even taught us to recite prayers in norwegian when we were kids. I don't remember very much now though....




Thanks Birkebeiner!
