Oslo Winterwonder Snowland

in #life7 years ago

A few days ago, Oslo woke up to snow - lots of snow! Due to the unexpected snowfall, public transportation didn't manage to not bring people to work.

Digging the cars out of the snowdrift was not an option! But thanks, God, for the Nordic Skiing. Norwegians would know how to get to work. BBC made this video: Oslo residents ski their way to work.

The snowfall caused trouble as traffic jam and damaged cars. Unfortunately, also some human injuries as broken arms and ankles. Some turned the snow fall into a positive activity like skiing (not only to get to work).
