 Vinteren regnet vekk
Denne uken startet som et vintereventyr.
Store og små gledet seg over de fine sidene ved
vinteren, mens debatten om de høye strømprisene
overdøvet det meste I mediabildet. Men denne
helgen brakte endringer. Det skyet over, temperaturene
steg til 5-7 varme grader og det begynte å regne.
Mens fredag fremdeles var vinterdag, var lørdag
trøstesløs slapsedag og søndag
snøfri, I hvert her I byen. Og søndag
kveld fikk vi høre om senkede strømpriser,
fordi temperaturene var steget!
Hadde et ærend som gjorde
Vikedal til mål for søndagsturen. Her lå
det fremdeles litt snø igjen når vi var
der (1-2 tiden). Måtte bruke paraply for å
få tatt et par bilder. Allikevel ble jeg dyvåt.

 The fine winter disappeared in rain
This week started with the finest winter
days. All of us enjoyed the fine winter, while the newspapers
and TV reported about and discussed the new and very
high price we have got on electrical power (due to low
temperatures and low water level in the mountains -
now we have to import high priced electricity from other
european countries). But this weekend brought us changes.
Suddenly it was overcast with higher temperatures (+
5-7C) and rain. We still had winter Friday, Saturday
was wet and slushy, and on Sunday morning we had no
more winter, at least here in Haugesund. Result: Sunday
evening, the TV news reported lower currency prices,
due to the higher temperatures!
I visited Vikedal in Vindafjord community,
60 km from Haugesund, this Sunday. In spite of constant
rain they still had some snow there at 1-2PM. I had
to use an umbrella to be able to shoot a couple of pictures
- and got very wet (wind and rain).
