Hei alle,
God mandag i det vi skriver februar i vinterkalde (!) Bergen. En oppsiktsvekkende kald og tørr start på året i Vestlandets hovedstad. BT skriver i morgentimene at dersom været holder seg som meldt, vil det være en av de lengste tørkeperiodene i Bergen. Vi er glad i å sette vær-rekorder i denne byen, så her er det bare å krysse fingrene for at det holder seg tørt en stund til
Dear all,
Happy Monday as we enter February in a winter-cold (!) Bergen. An unusually cold and dry start of the year here on the west coast. Bergens Tidende wrote this morning that if the weather continues as forecast, we may be heading toward one of the longest dry spells in Bergen’s history. We do like our weather records in this city, so let’s cross our fingers that it stays dry for a little while longer
